    This is my first post on this forum and I would like to say that I've social anxiety and that makes things really worse for me.
    It difficult to act the way I want to act and I always end up acting weird and awkward.
    I couldn't to speak those things which I have on my mind.
    So basically, I couldn't stay me and I hate it because it sucks.
    What's your thought on it?

    I can relate. I don’t like situations with new people and am not able to express my feelings well. It feels like my mind is moving so fast that I can’t identify any one thought and actually put words to it. Social anxiety has become a big theme recently and I think the internet only amplifies it.

    I'm socially awkward as well but I'm trying my best. it seems to be better as you grow older since we are forced to mingle with other people. But I still have my moments when I know that I have to get out of the crowd and deal with them. The anxiety level can go up and sometimes being yourself seems not be enough.

    But I keep on reminding myself that I should be just show up myself. Then I don't have to pretend and feel nervous about it. Writing a journal helps a lot. If you are not into these things, you can express yourself better with writing. However, from all that's happening right now it seems that our social skills has been paused. We have to start all over again.
