3am Thoughts

Yesterday i was diagnosed with social anxiety. And today, i was choosen to be a group leader. IM. SCARED. SUPER. SCARED. I scared if im bad, if my members dont like me, if im incompetent. I really wanna cry to someone, but im scared if my friend get annoyed. Now im crying already because i think i already do bad. I really hope this overthinking and overpleasing people traits ends soon 😭

I’m a 42 year old man from Hyderabad with severe social anxiety. Looking to connect with people with similar social anxiety issues (irrational fear and anxiety to communicate socially). Racing heart, palpitations, cold sweat are symptoms.

Anyone ?

Social Anxiety

Social anxiety 

In social anxiety, fear and anxiety lead to avoidance of many social situations that can disrupt your life. Severe stress can affect your relationships, daily routines, work, school or other activities.

Social anxiety disorder can be a chronic mental health condition, but learning coping skills in psychotherapy can help you gain confidence and improve your ability to interact with others.

Seeking help early, prioritising things in life, avoiding substance use can help reduce symptoms...

Book recommendation that helps me deal with social anxiety 

Books

I am really weird person ,I have one ability to make situation really awkward . I am not able to communicate with people in general . I am introvert . I can not deal with situation which are familiar. I fail to react at that point ,that is really awkward .Mostly I avoid one to one interaction with people so I do not really know how people react to particular situation .so I correlate the real life scene with movie , used to think people must have same reaction like  movie scene .
 but in real life is not so dreamy and colorful ,everyone is unique .so i am always confuse about interacting with people .I end up being in awkward situation. does anyone actually feel like this or i am the only one with weird thing.......???

Conflict

in general i am a very anti social person and this stems from my anxiety and insecurities. i have never told about this to anyone except my best friend.
on text, I'm a very free person because I'm behind a screen so there I'm not very anti social.
i met a friend, I've met him once or twice a year ago and we have started to text each other. i definitely don't like him but i want to have him as a real friend in my life. but when i meet new people I'm totally anxietic. so when i meet him, i would be anxietic too.
and i shared (or maybe overshared) my insecurities and my anxiety, thinking that maybe he would understand this when he meets me, understands my anxiety.  do you think I've done the correct thing? what should I do to avoid this pre-meeting a person social anxiety
