Social Anxiety?
How can I be good at social conversation and be comfortable with people I am with, especially in a group situation at dinner table. I just feel like I am an idiot says odd things or just be dead silent since I am so terrified to say something. Same with visiting some one’s home, I feel so odd and uneasy while I am staying over friends house, just do not know how to act around. If I try to be just me, it seems irritate hell out of everyone. I have had a nice friend came to stay, she was wonderful and so much fun. She also stayed with my other friends house, everyone loved her. I guess because she was comfortable with her self, and has a great social skill which has been developed since child, its a built up process. I missed all that since I have been always suffering from social anxiety disorder. I was always odd one, but popular in school, cause I was so odd. But I am a 40 year old mature adult, I can not be odd and be a class clown like when I was 15.
I understand exactly how you feel. It’s not something that you can just become “good” at – it is learned over time. Try not to be afraid. Even if you do say something stupid, it’s not the worst thing. It happens even to those who have good social IQs. Sometimes socializing online is easier, as well.
I am not a psychologist, but knowing many people who have it, sometimes social awkwardness can be a sign of Asberger’s Syndrome…
