Everyone thinks I’m an introvert but I really think I’m an extrovert with social anxiety. I WANT to be out socializing and partying and trying new things/places and I feel so depressed when I’m alone at home for too long. But I just get so anxious 😭

im the same way but my therapist told me it’s not social anxiety but rather being socially inexperienced or “out of practice”. I started volunteering for a farm nearby and it’s actually helpful in coming out my shell a lot. I met this girl there and I just said fuck it and asked her to hang out now we are going to hit the bars this weekend

Great news, fam: this is fixable! Talk to your doctor / your school’s counseling services.
