I need help recognizing social anxiety

50% Normal
4 Comments

I think I have social anxiety disorder and I have the worst coping mechanisms for it. When I'm alone I get my tasks done, in groups I'll help get tasks done but I will talk forever about every topic no matter the subject or situation. Parents say "oh just stop talking" (like I never tried that before) I feel like I have to talk to fill the silence and the boredom of every day exsistance. I know my speech is disruptive, but I cant physically bring myself to shut up for more than an hour in groups unless I have a podcast or something to listen to to distract me. Does that mean I have ADD to add to my list of fucked up social abilities? I'm in my 20s and need a career, was thinking of an apprentenceship but I dont want to stray into bad conversation topics and fuck up my chances.

    Doesnt sound like the normal type of social anxiety. I think of social anxiety as someone who avoids social interactions.

    Put something in your mouth to prevent yourself from talking, like chewing tobacco.
