I self diagnosed myself with social anxiety disorder.
I am extremely quiet and shy around people I don't know.
If there is a larger group of people I don't know, I start to freak out. My palms get sweaty and I start shaking.
I concentrate more on the conversations that might take place and how they can end up then I actually spend talking.
I tend to almost cry (and have before) when I am alone or will be alone around people I have to make a good impression on.
I can't even talk on the phone to order pizza or make a doctors appointment.
But I can go to the mall, or make a doctors appoinment in person.
Does this sound like it could be S.A.D.? If so, what are treatments. Sometimes I think this is just all in my head and that I can get over it with pratice, yet I can't.
