How bad has your social anxiety become? I cannot handle others

I start sweating like crazy whenever I'm in line at the grocery store. Its dripping on my glasses, my armpits are a disaster its annoying.

I now try to completely avoid my roomates. I've stared eating tinned food in my room and only ever eating cold food or takeaways.

I freeze up and forget how to talk in certain situations, I either remain that way until the other person says something or I physically force myself to speak. Either way I look like a wacko.

This usually happens in fast food joints and whenever my mother is present.

It used to be a lot worse. When I was 18 and full of hopes and dreams. I'm 27 now. I've been a robot for too long to care about stuff like this anymore. Unless I have to talk to a crowd, I don't really feel any anxiety.

The best thing I do to relieve anxiety in social situations is to tell myself that the silence is deliberate and I'm just not interested in talking to them, if that makes sense. Like, it doesn't feel tense at all if you just have extremely passive conversations and give non-committal answers when you can't think of what to say, and nobody will call you out or anything so long as you stay polite.

This. I'm getting to the point where i'm starting to believe people honestly don't want me around because i'd only invade their space.

I know what you mean. I have 4 flatmates at university who are all friends with each other and I am the odd one out. The only reason I am in this flat is because one of their other friends and I took their place. I know they would rather have any other person in the flat but me.

>tfw you just want to hide every part of your body from being visible to other people but you can't always have a sweatshirt hood up and summer exists
Honestly, knowing that I can kill myself at any time is one of the only things that gets me through going to/from class.
