Been dealing with it all my life, not crippling, but pretty bad sometimes. I had a big problem with alcohol for awhile as it became my go-to for being around people, and when I became sober I began to realize that it was ok to not feel comfortable around people all the time. So now I make my home environment calm and easy and I don't stress over the social stuff so much.
I tried meds for a few years, but the fact was they made me more aggressive and self-centered. Not in a good way.
I'm not really looking for war stories or criticism or anything, just an open forum to talk about social anxiety and/or introversion, if anyone wants to share, or post something cool about it.
