Social Anxiety to me is not being able to look people in the eye and walking on the other side of the street to avoid having to speak to people as they walk past. It’s also peeing in a trash can to avoid going out of my room. Although it isn’t as debilitating as it sounds, it’s only been that bad sometimes. But I’ve recovered so much since I was a child. Still it’s hard, and the internet is the only way I am able to express myself and feel like I am not alone. Because I am anonymous and people don’t know me on the internet I can speak freely.
