Most people, not all, stereotype black people as always being loud and aggressive. That's not true for everyone. People are individuals. Yes I grew up around black people who were this way, which made it difficult for me since I have social phobia. But I am living proof that black people can be socially anxious.
I have not met any black people who have admitted they were socially anxious, but I have met people who were white, asian, or other ethnicities who have. Even in the support groups online, I have not met ONE other black person who openly talks about it. I've asked a few times, and no one black ever responded.
I feel like the only black person suffering from this.
Another thing, why does the black community say black people don't go to counselors? It's bad enough I have social anxiety, being black and socially anxious makes it worse.
