ive always had problems interacting with people and, as a result, have a huge amount of social anxiety at age 25. i can be talkative, but am so worried of people thinking i am weird or that they will make fun of me, i just get paralyzed. i have always had a few, low-key close friends but it's hard for me with acquainatnces, extended family, and coworkers. i get bullied at work, esp. i honestly dont know what i do wrong that makes people dislike me so much. i wish i could because i dont want to be depressed or unlikeable. i am a nice person. people say to speak up, be yourself, and not care, but what are you supposed to do if someone says something obnoxious/sarcastic? i always feel embarassed, like im about to cry, and dumb...how do i not care and/or deal with this?
