Social Anxiety
Anyone ever have issues with social anxiety before?

I've noticed myself being uncomfortable with large crowds of people as far back as 3rd or 4th grade. Recently though, I'm noticing it around people all together. Yesterday we had a medium size group for Easter dinner, mostly family, and I didn't really talk to anyone. Sometimes I have difficulty going to class because I'm afraid I'll be judged, or God forbid the professor puts us into a small group to do an activity.

Any thoughts or opinions are welcome.

How is your sleep? You typically get 8 hours a night? Snore?

I'd definitely recommend staying off the weed. It may seem to help, but I suspect it's actually making your problem much worse.

I'm well known here for being overly quiet. I can't give a speech to save my life, even if I'm friends with everyone in the room. I run a bowling league and every year have to do the award presentation and it kills me. I say um, like it is going out of style when I try. It is funny, because I know everyone is on my side in those situations, but I can't fight my way through it.

I hate public speaking regardless of the event.

I'm the same way. I'd rather give a presentation to a group of 300 strangers than a small group that contains people I know. I figure that's because if the presentation goes poorly I would feel more guilty doing a Carrie and burning the room down if it contains people I know.

The fact that I was able to even contribute to the conversation with you and the small group at the last CP gathering was impressive for me, lol.

Similar to how people handicap them selves to alcohol in social situations. People in general need to learn to deal with a problem head on and not use crutches.

Ever since I was put on trazadone I sleep like a baby. Good 8 hours of sleep, (depending on work and school schedule). My roomate says I very rarely snore.

I'm assuming you're going down the sleep apnea route here?

Agreed. I'm great at running away from my problems though.

Edit - wasn't supposed to be a there

Yep. I've felt this way for awhile now, in fact I talked to my wife about it awhile back when I left our sons 21st birthday party early cause of the big crowd in the bar that night. I think she just kinda blew me off as not wanting to be sociable.

Sunday at both my mom's and her sister's house for Easter I just sat outside by myself at mom's. There were some people with me at the other place but one was my son so that helped and the other was my nephew and we talked football the whole time. Otherwise I didn't talk to anybody else all day at either place.

I just hate being around crowds and making small talk. I would rather just stay home in my own surroundings in my Chiefs Man Cave and chill.

My wife and I have some similar interests and some different ones. As we enter our third decade of marriage, we've figured out that we don't have to do everything together. She's much more social than I am, so sometimes she goes to theater events or parties without me. I like travel more than she does, so sometimes I'll wander off on a trip without her. We have enough common interests that we still do things together, but we've decided that we can do things separately and be just fine. It keeps one partner from dragging the other to a non-enjoyable thing, and feeling guilty doing so.
That is awesome.
