Should i move?

I’ve been living at the same place for like, 7 years, and i haven’t gotten over my social anxiety. And almost everyone here knows me as “the quiet person”, i just got a chance to move to another place, and although i LOVE where i stay i right now, and the new place will be a much smaller place….i think i might get a fresh start, i dunno, any advice?What would you do?

It’s harder to find your place in a smaller society. In small societies, like a small town, everybody already knows everybody and the newcomers can turn out as outsiders. Especially if they have communication difficulties (like I do). I’m scared of moving to a small town. I find the anonymity of big places comforting. Maybe it will be so for you too.

I agree with BadInfluence, try changing your job first and see if it works. By changing the city, you’d have to change the job too anyway, so you’re not losing anything.

“Should I stay or should I go?”

What do you really feel is best for you? I think you would like to move.
Either way, you’ll end up ok.

Moving could help, IF you’re dedicated to also changing your behavior pattern.

As you said, it’s your behavior that really dictates your social life. You just have to grit your teeth and do it. Otherwise, it’s going to be the same in the new place as it is now.
