I never really understood the whole ordeal with social anxiety and I am kinda ignorant when it comes to what it involves how does it shut people down . I understand when someone is shy they just need to warm up to come out of there shell where I’ve heard that social anxiety is not the same

Social anxiety to me is having a million things to say, but then saying the wrong thing too late. Just like this post, I can write whatever I want to but 99% of the time it will come out wrong misunderstood, and probably just piss people off. English is words are made full of assumptions of what words mean, and have a whole layer of subtext, and sometimes you don’t need to say all you can say so the words have to be filtered based on who you are talking to in what situation. Plus the eyes. I’m supposed to stare into your eyes enough to show I’m paying attention, but not too much as to not look like I’m falling deeply for your gaze. Then you can’t look too long either so where do you look? The nose? Forehead? Eventually you have to look them in the eyes, and the whole process starts all over again. All this is going on while trying to have a normal conversation about the weather or local sports team?
No thank you, id rather stay quiet.
