social anxiety parties

Anyone else get social anxiety in big groups? I have always been an anxious person in general but i have always Been able to manage it and show up to group events. I have noticed now though the farther along i get the more anxious i get and the more i get the overwhelming urge to bolt from events. Its getting bad too. Any one else or any ideas?

I'm a 50yo male married who avoids social situations whenever possible. I've battled addiction and depression over the years, both of which I believe have arisen from my social anxiety. I would consider myself somewhat quiet and somewhat introverted. I don't feel comfortable at parties, bars, or social events, especially if I don't know any of the people also attending.

s behaviour appear to suggest that he might be suffering from anxiety - probably social phobia. I might suggest you do a google search of the term "childhood anxiety" or something similar to see if the description matches that of your son. You will find a lot of reading on the internet re this very common mental health issue for children as well as many suggestions on books that can be purchased from the local bookstore, on-line or borrowed from your local bookstore.

I was diagnosed with social anxiety and panic disorder a year ago. I take remeron and klonopin but the doctor says only to take them at night. I think I need some medication to get through the day but I am afraid to tell him I am having trouble getting through the day. I always have a butterfly feeling in my stomach and when I have to go in public I get very nervous and feel like everyone is looking at me. I guess my question is does anyone else feel this way and what should I do?

Only people who really know me (or who are astute) know I am shy and have social anxiety, which is why, after certain social gatherings, I really need time afterwards to "recover" afterwards. My idea of a good time is reading a book.

I'm not entirely sure whether I'm a Schizoid or a freak. I don't know which one would be better. I can feel so connected and happy with my very few close friends but the second another person happens along I close down. I hate parties and large social groups. I'm too young to have had a serious relationship yet but honestly sex sounds like the most disgusting thing ever.

My husband suffers from social anxiety. Its gotten so bad the last three years that its to the point where we have no social life as a couple. We don't go out together at all. No movies, no dinner at restaurants, no church, no parties. He won't even try. If we do go anywhere its because I beg him, then we usually leave early or walk out on the movie because he is in such a state. Most days when he gets off work he just plays video games.

It may be a social anxiety problem. If it really bothers you I would get it checked out. This problem, along with other phobias, are actually helped by facing the problem head-on. It seems as if you've developed agoraphobia, which simply means you are avoiding the situation because you are afraid it will create anxiety.

Well when I was eleven i was bullied alot at school and never told my mom about it and i stopped wanting to play with my friends but eventually i opened up and asked for new friends and i started to feel better. She could be a very shy and might have things in her mind locked away. Talk to her and see if she comes around.

Hello Sue357. I have been suffering from social anxiety for over three years and i have been on XR Seroquel for the last year in a half. it has been helping me find peace within myself, but anxiety still haunts me daily. Mostly when i go out to work, parties or even a simple phone call.

t search the old Google for things that might be wrong with you. Anxiety is anxiety -- the labels are more for insurance company and pharmaceutical company purposes. I'd ask how long this has been going on for -- teenage years are full of changes as you grow from a kid into an adult. Hormones go nuts, life starts getting harder, and you get exposed to more information you have to process.

Any moms out there who are having a hard time trying to relax during their pregnancy with all going on in the world? I hate politics and it's everywhere. TV, social media, work, the grocery store, the millions of discussions between husband and his buddies, etc...... everything makes me feel sick. I'm bringing an innocent life into a world that is almost impossible to deal with.

But when a good time and excuse to be around people popped up, (Christmas parties, bar-b-ques, parties) I would not like to go. (I have a depression disorder and a good deal of anxiety.) I would come up with lame excuses to not go. Some of it really was being "out of my comfort zone". At work, no doubt, I was in charge. AT social gatherings, I would so often catch me doing my job. This was even obvious to my wife, and she could almost taste me being uncomfortable....

Yes it is, and when ones is in intercourse things tend to heat up as friction builds between the two parties until a climatic climax is reached and mutual satisfaction is agreed upon by both parties in a social setting but not always, so to sooth the disgruntled party or parties, it is best to detract from the engagement and to be social and intercourse with others as the music quietly plays in the background. A little ris-k but it works for me.

Hi, I don't think she has any disorder as such, she just sounds anxious and shy. I agree that if she is content with a few good friends then that is her preferance which isn't bad. Birthday parties are notoriously hard on kids so I would keep expectations low at those types of events. But what I would keep my eye on is the anxiety part. While how many friends she has doesn't matter, it is more of an issue if she feels very uncomfortable on the inside/ anxious.

Even before I had issues with people in my space but i seriously feel like a magnet lately...i just need to survive 2 christmas parties...

Now the kids started getting scared of going to Birthday Parties, they got scared in the classes (music and soccer) that they went to. It just gt worse with every passing day. I talked with the teacher and they told me that the kids are very passive in the class and are not getting involved in any of the class activities. I will be moving them to the Public school (currently they are in a Private school) this year.

I am a 30 year old woman. I have had severe social anxiety since I was 12 years old. So far I've just about managed to complete my studies and get a job. I have a lot of diffficulty interacting with people at the workplace. Now I am under a lot of pressure to get married. Now I live in a country where arranged marriages are the norm and our partner is selected by our parents and we don't get to meet them before marriage. So I don't get the chance to discuss my anxiety with him.

social anxiety? jealousy? c ompetition? You probabaly have some preliminary hypothesis about it.

So I've just recently become open with my social anxiety. I remember being in middle school and thinking that something was horribly wrong with me. I would get so nervouse around people. My body would tremble, my voice would shake and I couldn't think clearly. I've become more comfortable with being uncomfortable, and yes I do notice that there are plenty of people that are shy, but I really hate the fact that my real personality can't show when I'm around people.

Yes, it does sound like social anxiety. Have you thought about getting in to counseling to help with this?

You are correct that the Abilfy will not help with your social anxiety. And while I do not mean to imply that your social worker has not helped you, very few, if any, social workers are trained psychologists who can help you with this problem. It may be worth considering professional therapy to beat this phobia once and for all.

I have a presentation coming up next week, so I decided to go and seek medical help today. I went to my doctor and he diagnosed me with social anxiety. He said that the best treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy, but he prescribed me some medication to get me through this semester. He prescribed 10 mg propranolol (inderal) 3 times a day and an extra 10 mg inderal 1 hour before the presentation + 0.25 mg Xanax 1 hour before the presentation.

I know, when you feel the anxiety, it leads to more anxiety because you are anxious they will notice your anxiety... Higher heart rate, blood pressure, chest pains, wish to immediately leave the place... And to me, it seems better to leave home at night or when it is colder or rainy, because there are less people out there, on the street... You are not alone!

I have a question about social anxiety accompanied with phobia. I am a mother of 5 and I have had social anxiety since I was young. I am now 45. I bagan to drink and use drugs at an early age, to help bring comfort when I was around people. I had it pretty well managed, by making myself get out. I have had counseling in the past, but I never discussed this with the counsler, because I really didn't think it was a major problem for me. My 2nd son is turning 16 next month.

I would also have to agree that counseling can really help with social anxiety. First of all, don't feel ashamed or embarrased about it because many people suffer from this in my opinion. In my experience, counseling can she some light on why you are feeling anxious, make it less confusing, and gvie you as step by step approach to confront it.

Yes you do have social anxiety. I have had it for years and now it has turned into agoraphobia. I also have panic attacks. I am not saying all this could happen to you but just be aware of these things. Have you seen a therapist? I stay secluded to my home but my therapist is trying to help me with these issues. I take xanax for the panic attacks and anxiety. But they do have different meds. I suggest you go to a mental health facility in your area. They can be quite helpful.
