Ive always had social anxiety. When I drank I had bad general anxiety and panic but less social anxiety. When I quit drinking the general got better but the social got worse. Alcohol is social lubricant. But now in sobriety my social anxiety has spread to family I used to feel fine around. I now feel out of place around every family member except my own wife and kids. I want to stay home for all holidays. Its strange how it grew to include parents, aunts, and my sister.
