Why yes, being a person with social anxiety while being an extrovert can be considered as a major predicament. I have recognized why being an extrovert with social anxiety can be difficult:

I'm very quiet, but have a lot to say.

I often come off as the quiet yet shy type who just sits and listens to what you are saying without expression my opinion in return. I might look as if I am captivating everything you're saying, but, believe me, I have thought of 20 different responses in my to head to shoot back to you. The thing is I have soo much to share, but I am very scared of embarrassing myself by saying the wrong thing. As a result, I would rather stay quiet and listen to others talk.

I like to be alone, but do not leave.

Having social anxiety causes me to lay in my warm cozy bed in my snuggie, with having marathons of "Boys Meets World" on my television. At the same time when I am at home, I am just as anxious when I am alone. Through my mother and overtime, I learned that separating yourself from other people does not help social anxiety. Even when the time comes where I do not feel like talking, having someone around to be there for me when I decide to talk is very comforting. Sometimes, just being with others is enough to keep me content

All of the following situations have caused me to struggle each and everyday. But as I grow older, I start to tell myself that this is who I am.

There is a light side to the tunnels and it's up to you to find it.
