Social Anxiety

    Hi guys,

    I would really appreciate any help you can give me.

    I have finally come to the conclusion that I suffer from social anxiety. I have always come across as a confident person, this is true to a certain extent, i.e. people i know and am familiar with.

    However, when I think about it, it must be social anxiety. If I am preparing for a social occasion I drink enough so I feel able to meet people. If I am going to meet new people on a night out I have a few drinks. If I am talking to a person one on one I feel nervous and not at ease.

    When I was in college I hated presentations and even had a few drinks before hand just to ease how I felt. I feel so embarrassed about this.

    I am only 23 but I already dread the speech I have to give on my wedding day. I am a well qualified man but I turn down jobs because I feel inadequate.

    Ultimately I feel I am restricting myself from further development. Even the thought of going to a doctor makes me feel nervous.

    I am very grateful to anybody that may help me in this awful situation!!!

    Kind regards.
