Today, I went to a Mexican restaurant with my family. I got stuck trying to decide whether I should get the fajitas or the tacos. I ended up getting the tacos because I didn't want the fajitas to come in sizzling, and I didn't want to "make a scene". My social anxiety has hit a new low. FML

Today, I decided to work on my social anxiety by ordering some food. I waited in line, practicing my order in my head all the way. When I got to the front, I said my order with no mistakes. The cashier just stared blankly at me until I mumbled, "Never mind..." and left. FML

Today, my family and I went to Olive Garden. Due to my autism, I sometimes have a nervous tic, which presented itself while I was looking at the menu. I would have appreciated it if my mom hadn't then screamed at me to stop in front of the entire restaurant. FML

Today, I went to a very crowded restaurant. Being really shy, I requested to sit in the corner, but instead they placed me in the center of the dinning area. I started to eat my food and got really spaced out. Suddenly I sneeze-farted and everyone turned to look at me. FML

Today, I was at my favorite Mexican restaurant when I realized my really cute waiter, along with his buddies kept looking at me and smiling. Trying to be cool, I took a bite of my burrito, choked, and spilled ground beef down my new shirt and in my bra. They laughed the whole time. FML

Today, my wife took me to Taco Bell for the first time. I said, "Isn't this where all those FMLs happen to people?" She said, "You'll be fine." I am writing this from the toilet. I am not fine. FML

Today, I have an awful stomach virus. I can only drink liquids and can't eat anything solid, especially anything spicy. My dad forced me to eat the fajitas he'd made for dinner and screamed at me when I told him I couldn't, then screamed at me again for "wasting food" when I predictably threw up all over the floor.

Today, my friend asked me to order take out for him because he gets nervous on phones. I called a Chinese restaurant, only to get nervous, and hang up. FML

Today, while standing in line at a local Mexican fast food place, I was feeling generous and let a little kid behind me go in front. Turns out he had a list, and was ordering food for his whole family. I had to wait 30 minutes to get my food. FML

Today, I got up the courage to go to a nice place for lunch alone. I wasn't expecting the Tilapia I ordered to be the whole fish, so I asked the waiter for a box because, "I forgot about an appointment in 20 minutes," just so he wouldn't think I was an idiot who didn't know what I was ordering.

Today, my social anxiety got so bad that my 12 yr old daughter had to get in the driver's seat to order from the drive-thru. FML

Everyone is born with a big entrance. But when you grow up, people tell you to be demure and unassuming. **** it! Order the sizzle!! It's worth it. If other people have a problem, that's their fault ;)

There are different kinds of social anxiety. My brother in law has social anxiety. He hates talking to people. He hates being around people. He doesn't get panic attacks but feels really uncomfortable around people.

Just be you man! If you want the sizzle, get the sizzle! **** what other people think or say. It's better to go through life by being yourself, rather than trying to fit yourself in where others want you to be. Remember, always watch out for numero uno first (yourself), then worry about others. As long as your happy with yourself, then others will follow and love you for who you are. Do you to the best of your abilities and **** what the "normal" people in society think about you.

I feel for you. I do the same thing lots of times, totally sucks but try to live on the edge just one day and order the sizzling dish. It'll make you more confident.

Lucky for you I am here to help balance things in this world. Next time I go Mexican I will order the fajitas just to make up for you. I'll double the margarita order just in case you didn't go there for some odd ball reason too.

Wtf is with Americans needing therapists for everything? "Social anxiety?" Grow up!! Christ, you sound like a bloody shrink. It's not social anxiety, it's you spending your entire life in front of shit tv rather than just making real friends. Do it, it's really not that hard. Then magically, your social anxiety will disappear. *Shakes head in disbelief*
