Social phobia?

[temperancebrennan]

I'm tired of being alone. I moved to a new city & only know a couple of people. My housemate asked me to work with her at a bar she works in tonight. I said yes, thinking "it's only glass collecting, it'll be fine". Yet when I got there, I had to leave straight away as I was in floods of tears.
I'm not good with big groups of people if I have to interact with them (unless I'm drunk & have liquid confidence, in that case I'm usually fine) I have no problem walking around a city centre on my own or eating in a restaurant on my own, but when it comes to having to actually speak or interact with people in a large group, I freak out & have to leave.
I don't really know anyone here & I thought this might be a way to make new friends, but it terrified me so much & now I'm just at home again, alone again.

Social anxiety is the worst ;(.

I have been getting better and better with the therapy I've been doing lately however, it's the social anxiety institute, and they have an audio series specifically for social anxiety. It worked wonders for me... I suggest it if u haven't already.
