Do I have some kind of anxiety disorder or something?

Question

-I always feel like I'm being evaluated in public.
-I get uncomfortable when I'm walking down the hallways in school, or sidewalk
-I get EXTREMELY uncomfortable when I'm in a public place by myself (I'm always afraid that people will pick on me or something).
-I'm really awkward talking to people that aren't my close friends
-I tend to think people are purposely trying to make me uncomfortable when they talk to me (Like if a guy says "hey!" to me I'll think that they're just trying to mess with my feelings).

Answer 1

Yes, and it sounds like a social phobia. There are a couple of good medications that help social phobia, and finding a good therapist will help as well. If you can find one that uses this stuff called CBT that might be most helpful for social anxiety.

Answer 2

Social anxiety may be part of it...but from what you have said it seems as if the larger underlying issue would be the times when you can't control or predict the situation. You do a lot of self analysis I can tell, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, and teaching yourself that nobody is even close to perfect may ease your tension some. In fact, many people hide their flaws, especially by picking out the flaws in other people. I think that if you start building your self confidence (i.e. not everything that everyone tells you is true), then you will start to be more comfortable around others. It will take a lot of work, but it can be done. Use your lack of satisfaction in yourself as fuel to improve yourself, but realize that you don't have to be perfect. The people that may pick on you are more than likely insecure about themselves. Hope this helps!

Answer 3

I don't know Im not good at knowing this from that. What I can tell you is that you need to look at yourself in a better way. Stop fooling yourself like all of us you have your strengths and weaknesses I mean Im awful at math Im sure your better then me.

The world is full of harmful words. Self esteem is just like that wall if the wall is high enough those words will have no effect.

As a person I know who I am, I know what Im good at, I know what I need to work on and most importanly I am who I am.

Be yourself.

Also there's nothing abnormal about not being comfortable talking with people who arent your friends. Sounds like a true aquarius you like to evaluate others before you strike conversation with them like myself.

Answer 4

I recognize and understand all that you are saying. You may have poor self esteem but I think there is more to it than that. Were you abused at any time in childhood? This can leave a person with many of the problems you have identified. Please consider getting help now as the longer you delay, the more severe the problems may become. Good luck to you .

Answer 5

It's possible. The only way to find out for sure is by talking to a licensed therapist. If you can't make the appointment itself -- and I know how hard it is -- talk to a trusted adult and have them make the appointment for you.

Answer 6
