Today, it was my first day back at school. My social anxiety is so bad that I couldn't even raise my hand to use the bathroom because I didn't want people to look at me. FML

It will be worse if they look at you after you've peed yourself.

Show up fashionably late, wearing nothing but a G string and a burger king crown. You'll get over your social anxiety pretty quickly. And a week out of school from the suspension.

Be carful. My friend did that and ended up peeing herself.

Sorry man, I know the same feeling. Social anxiety sucks, makes my life hell sometimes. I take Sertraline now, makes me feel better for the most part, talk to your doc and see if they can prescribe you some, or something similar, to help. Maybe try talking to a therapist too.

I have really bad anxiety as well. I am scared to start conversations with my teacher whom I had last year. I am even taking medication called pristiq. It helps in terms of walking going to class and talking to the friends that I have made. I am in college now and sometimes my anxiety gets really bad even with medication. But I do get through it.

Wow, I knew social anxiety was common, but not this common. It seems like every other person on here has it. It helps to know I'm not alone. :) I think I have it too. I've looked up the symptoms and they fit me perfectly. I haven't been officially diagnosed, and I'm too afraid to tell someone for fear of what they will think of me. I'm also afraid of raising my hand and asking a question. I know it sounds irrational, but I think to myself, OMG, what will people think of me if I have to go to the bathroom at school? And what if the people already in the bathroom see me and hear me peeing? So I hold it until I get home. But I notice that it isn't as bad when I'm with someone. However, the other day I actually walked into Target all by myself! It sounds totally like not a big deal, but when you have social anxiety, it is. Good luck, OP. You're not alone.
