I have both general anxiety and social anxiety. I take medication, and most of my general anxiety has been alleviated. But I still have lots of social anxiety. I get extremely nervous and uncomfortable at work, to the point where I can't speak at a loud enough volume for my bosses to hear me. It's very frustrating. I want to be able to network and make bonds with people, but it's difficult and I have struggled with it my whole life.


I also get anxious about asking people to hang out one-on-one. I am super-introverted, but I don't *actually* like being alone all the time... I want to get closer to my friends and hang out. My anxiety prevents me from doing this. I'd love any suggestions to fight these anxieties.

Hey, I totally get how you feel because people think I'm either passive-aggressive or just don't know how to talk. It is frustrating cause like I overthink what I have to say but then when a situation comes around, I couldn't do it.

I am sorry. I know how you feel. Try to relax. Maybe have them come to your house and watch some movies. Make some snack like pop corns, maybe hot dogs or have nachos. Have everyone put whatever they want on they nachos.

    On Saturday, while I was at yard sales with my best friend, my lawn guy texted me that he did my lawn.  This costs me $70 every two weeks or so.  I don't have great grass so sometimes, he skips.  Anyway, I paid him on CashApp when I got home.  On Sunday morning, he texted me again, to say goodbye because he was moving.  My little thinking cap went on and I thought about how I am healthier...
