why do i feel like this

[underr_pressure]

My friends always come too visit me in my home but often to always I run into my room and hide. I feel as if I am getting overwhelmed and gives me anxiety. However, my friends and I are very close and known each other since we were kids. Also. I do not like going out and "chilling" with friends weather its just at someone's home or an outing. I feel like people stare at me and talk about me. I been feeling like this since I was in my early teen years (13-14 years old) as I gotten older its worsen too the point where I just wanna stay home in my bed all day which makes me depressed so I call my friends over and hide in my room.

Why am I like this for.

Well, they aren't talking about you or staring at you and you're certainly not an outcast but something is making you feel this way.
I know I had to get some help to deal with my anxiety issues..can you get some help? At least start by talking to your family doctor?

The fact that you know sitting in your room will make you feel depressed so you invite friends over is a great start to overcoming these feelings. I think you need to work on your self confidence a little bit and make yourself more comfortable in your own skin. You are worth talking to and I highly doubt people stare at you and talk about you negatively. I have the same issue with making myself feel bad and putting myself down which is super hard and challenging. The next time you start feeling anxious when you're with friends, just try to stay positive and force yourself to stick around instead of hiding away. After you conquer a full visit with your friend i'm sure you'll feel happy and be motivated to do this more often once you realize how fun it is hanging with friends and doing something besides sitting in your room alone. Sometimes I wish I could take my own advice because I can really relate to wanting to hide away in my room and be alone because I feel uncomfortable and awkward and let me tell you, it's not a nice feeling.

I wish you luck on improving your social skills and hopefully you can find some comfort when hanging our with people :)
