Who else discovered their social anxiety was due to something else?
I used to think I just had social anxiety for a long time. The idea that it was based on something else felt insulting. But Ive now got to the point in life (29) where I agree that it seems social anxiety is a symptom (and a bad one) of something else. Social anxiety isnt itself disorder.
Mine comes from living and growin up with autism and adhd, which i was only just recently diagnosed. Never being able to fit in or be normal. Always getting in trouble where i was trying my best. Constant over thinking and over stimulation. And also growing up with alcoholic apathetic parents.
I grew up not being able to control if i did something right or wrong. I think i changed to expecting things to always go wrong, then trying to work out how ill expect and sort that out rather than do things right.
Who else has has larger issues? For those who dont believe they do, I would advise looking into it to he sure while your as young as can be.
