friends help: I have anxiety. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

I have anxiety.

Really bad. I cannot talk infront of a crowd. NO WAY. I get very nervous when I’m speaking to friends, family, anyone in general. I get very shakey and scared that I sound stupid or I will try to say something funny and no one will laugh, but think what an idiot. What can I do to get rid of my anxiety??

I got this problem for years untill in the end of college i have to submit my proj in talk in front of all the guys and college staffs, its the worst that i every imagine.
I been so afraid and i dont want to talk…my friends used to tease me, its really worst thing.

Then, one of my friend told me to face it, you’ll reduce the fever.
just think wht to fear about. Jst throw urself to them.
Finally, i did my best. i am so gald.

Just try to face lil by lil, you’ll get it through. Pratice speeching in home, you can get help from outside if you want to.
