Social Anxiety Symptoms

I was hiding away my life. I didn’t want to talk to people and I certainly didn't want to interact with anyone. I didn't know I was suffering from social anxiety symptoms until I started researching what was happening to me.

I was mostly afraid that I would get out in public and I would embarrass myself so bad that I would never be able to come out again. I thought everyone was paying so much attention to me that my every move was going to be looked at until they found a way to laugh at me. My social anxiety symptoms were really getting worse.

I can tell you, that although these are social anxiety symptoms, they were stopping me from living my life. They were creating problems that I didn't know I was having. I also found there were a lot of situations that would trigger my anxiety.

Do you have problems in these situations?

- Your friends gently tease you and you want to die.
- You hate being the center of attention on your birthday. You would rather people just forget about it.
- You don't like to talk to your professor because you are afraid they will tell you that you are doing something wrong.

If so it is time to do something about them. You do not always have to go to a doctor for a drug, to help you because there are many ways to stop social anxiety symptoms naturally.

One important one is staying away from caffeine or avoiding alcohol can definitely help you.
