Hi - Beyond Blue Forums

Chloe2013

Hi! I'm Chloe. I'm in high school right now, and I have social anxiety. Like really bad. Does anyone else have that? I feel like always running away and escaping, like everyone will judge me. I have a friend, and when she's not around, I feel really lost, kinda. My favourite colour is light blue, so I guess it really fits with the theme( beyond blue). I just wrote this because I need to tell someone and don't want them to judge me in person.

hey Chloe!!that sucks, i also have social anxiety, not as bad as you I guess. its tough when ur friends aren't there bc like who are you supposed to talk to ToT don't feel bad about yourself - if someone judges you for your struggles they're not worth being around anyway

Hi Chloe, welcome to the forums! I just wanted to say you are definitely not alone in feeling this way. High school is such a tough environment on its own, and social anxiety can make it feel completely overwhelming, especially when your 'safe person' (your friend) isn't around. It's totally understandable that you feel the urge to run away or hide. Have you spoken to a school wellbeing officer or your parents about how heavy this feels? Please know you're being so brave just by reaching out and sharing here. Take it one day at a time, we are all cheering you on!

Hi Chloe, I also have pretty bad social anxiety. It can be the worst. I'm just writing this so you don't feel alone. I can understand feeling like everyone judges you. I have so much faith in you that you can get through it all.
