I don’t understand why I have such bad social anxiety. I feel like I don’t fit the description for someone dealing with something like this. I am semi-popular at school, have my small group of friends, play sports, and I’m in great physical shape. I feel like people wouldn’t think someone like me is dealing with so much internally, this is so fucked. 

I can’t talk to people that I am not close with. Especially girls… My mind goes completely blank and my face gets red and I start sweating. I’m able to “fake it til I make it” to a degree but this is mentally draining, and I’m afraid to be myself. 

I have always had horrible general anxiety, and shyness in general stemming from my Tourette’s. I see the doctor Monday to ask about anxiety meds..
