Do i have (social) anxiety?
Hi guys.
I have been wondering if i have anxiety, and maybe have had it for some years now.
My problem is when i have to communicate, especially with colleagues, or people i dont really know, like a plubmer or a guy coming to fix something.
I feel often i forget which word to use, or im always looking for words, which stresses me out, and i become incoherent, my heart races a little etc.
Also sometimes when i speak with family and friend, but not as bad.
I generally sometimes feel my mind decaying, getting bad at formulatin stuff, even on text, lacking words and so on.
Generally im a normal guy, 28 years old, work, fitness (good shape), got a lot of friends, goes out, play football, gaming with friend. So basically a normal life.
But recently i have also noticed i generally hate and stresses out when i have to be alone with a friend, even one i have known my whole life. I always fear that we dont have anything to talk about. Normally this only happend with new people, but recently even my closest friends and siblings.
I think it startet lately after i broke up with my ex girlfriend, where i had many trobles also with the same problem. I had to think about 10 subjects before meeting here, and always feared nothing to talk about.
Its typically when im alone with people, but when in group setting i talk nonstop.
Could it be anxiety/social anxiety? Its has come to place i dont really want to date, because of my fear, which really discourages me.
Anyone got tips for fixing it ? I take ashwaghanda and magnesium.
