I'm a 20 year old college male and I have had social anxiety all my life. I don't understand why, I mean I'm very attractive, dress nice, and have a future ahead of me, but I'm always very afraid of being in public. For example, I look out the peephole in my door to make sure no one is there when I walk out, I always eat in the cafeteria when it's empty, etc. One guy told me I looked like I was going to cry recently, which describes how nervous I look in public. It's also the reason I've never had a girlfriend and have made no friends ever in college, even though I joined a club. I've never been to a party or any real social event either as a result and just thinking about it makes me cringe. I just wish I wasn't so normal and uptight all the time and didn't think almost everyone I come across is judging me. I feel stuck and no one will ever get to know me better as a result. Now my family is very much against drugs to help, so what can I do if anything? Will I ever be normal? Thanks.
