Social Anxiety
I was wondering how many of you in #offtopic have/had social anxiety. For those of you who had social anxiety, how did you get through it? Is there any advice you'd give to someone who is dealing with social anxiety? Part of the reason I'm making this thread is because I'm trying to get through social anxiety, and I'm interested to hear from those who have dealt with it.

It's not so much anxiety as it is I have little patience for stupid.

9 RepliesMan it really sucks. Especially when the only jobs available for me require dealing with tons of people daily. Or how companies want you to be super outgoing and extroverted. When I'm the exact opposite.

Hide from people. Or, if you have to deal with them, put on a cheery act. Make a couple bad jokes, maybe something self deprecating. Bottle the anxiety for the few minutes of social interaction, then find an isolated place like a bathroom or your car and let the stress out. Scream silently into a pillow or jacket. Or develop some nervous habits to direct the stress, like hand wringing or stretching.

1 ReplyIgnore that idiot. The best way is to gradually introduce yourself to social situations until the step becomes tolerable/possible - then move to a harder step. A sort of anxiety hierarchy.

Take it one step at a time and make small goals for yourself. Move onto harder ones once you feel your socially open and confident enough.
