Every time you're in public, you feel it.
That tugging feeling in your gut that refuses to go away.
That splitting headache that disorients you.
That chorus of voices screaming in your head to get out of there.
Whether you're in school,
Or just out getting groceries,
You feel it.
You hear it.
It doesn't go away.
It's near impossible for you to socialize with your peers.
The screaming in your head won't stop.
Even online, you're still scared to communicate.
And it's agonizing, because you want friends,
But you're too terrified to speak to them.
It doesn't go away,
No matter how hard you try.
You're trapped,
With yourself,
Alone.
All because of one thing...
Social Anxiety.

I wrote this basically as a vent piece. I have severe Social Anxiety, so this describes what I go through everyday.
To my friends: I love you all dearly, and you mean the world to me. Now you know why I'm barely ever in the chat to roleplay anymore.
I'm just scared.
I'm trying to get better, I'm in therapy, and am planning to see a psychiatrist to get medication to make it stop.
I'm so sorry if I've ever hurt anyone's feelings by not responding to you, or suddenly disappearing. I've never meant to.
Peace and love to whoever reads this.

I totally understand what you're going through! Although I don't I have social anxiety, I am shy. But I'm trying my best to break out my shell and I have made progress. So I believe you can too. I'm rooting for you!!
