If your palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy... then you probably have social anxiety. Here’s a list of instances you can relate to if you typically fear social settings.
1. How you feel when your professor makes everyone do ice breakers on the first day.
Excuse me Professor but I have no idea who I am or why I'm here.
2. That moment when your friend starts talking to their friends that you've never met.
Don't mind me, I'll be over here trying to disappear forever.
3. Your friends making you leave your house to socialize with them.
Whatever happened to staying in and watching movies?
4. But then this is your reaction when they cancel on you.
5. How you act when you're waiting for your name to be called at Starbucks.
Nothing I love more than a crowd of strangers hearing my name being yelled across the room.
6. When the teacher is taking attendance and you're overthinking how you're going to say "here."
7. When you're waiting for the bus to come and you're doing the most to avoid social interaction at all costs.
8. That moment when you're early to something and then question the day, time, and century you're in because you're the first one there.
No one's here, am I late? Am I early? What year is it?
9. Not to mention how big of a struggle it is getting dressed for an event where you don't know the dress code.
To wear an evening gown or sweatpants and a tee shirt, the choices!
10. When your friends finally talk you into going on a blind date and you're waiting for him to pick you up.
11. Anytime you've ever had to do public speaking.
12. When you're thinking of how you can get out of being introduced to someone new.
All I want to do is Lady GaGa jump out of this situation.
13. But it's all okay once you can go home, slide into bed, and return to being the introvert that you are.
There's no better feeling than cozying up all alone after a long day of unwanted socializing.
