Social Phobia (shyness)

[Mirage 24,770]

I'm not shy, but socializing takes a lot of energy out of me. It's too much work. So I tend to stay quiet to keep from passing out.

Another way to think about it is that it holds you back from doing the stupid things that most people do.

Some times, I can be very shy with the new ponies I meet here but it vanishes quickly. In real life, it's different. I can be very very shy depending with who I am with to a point that I can even avoid a person.

im horrible at interacting with others, both in real life & online. i used to think online would be easier but people are just as if not more cruel & annoying online than irl i get anxious these people would think im weird or just ignore me so i dont even try.

 

sometimes i do end up talking to people first but its really rare

I’ve never been diagnosed, but I’m pretty sure I have social anxiety.

I just hate how difficult and tiring I find social interaction to be, and there are things I'd never even dare consider doing that normal people can.
