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

Same thing different taste

Today, it was my first day back to school after break. I wasn't feeling well, but I decided to go anyway. I threw up in the hallway and shit myself at the same time. I waited in the office for my dad to come and get me for almost an hour while wearing dirty underwear. FML

Today, my social anxiety is so bad that the mere thought of talking to anyone, even someone who isn't even real, makes me feel ill and uneasy. FML

Today, it's my first day of high school. It's also my first day of a three-day in-school suspension. The reason? I sat next to a girl and she immediately got up and told the teacher that she didn't "feel safe". FML

Parenting styles may differ…

Today, it was my first day at my new high school. I put on a tiny bit of makeup, just some mascara, to feel more confident. I got in the car and my mom started yelling about how horrible my makeup is, basically calls me a slut for wearing it, and makes me take it off. I ended up crying in the bathroom on my first day.

Making an entrance

By conspicuous - 12/09/2012 20:11 - United States - Baton Rouge

Today, I was late for class. I have extreme social anxiety, so I quietly slipped into the huge, packed auditorium, trying to be as quiet as possible. When I was almost to my seat, I accidentally kicked a teacher's coffee down the steps. The entire class looked at me and some clapped. FML

Anxious

By DamnTornadoAlley - 30/08/2012 05:55 - United States - Wichita Falls

Today, I had to force myself to take a dump at school, even though I have severe restroom anxiety and shyness. I had finally relaxed enough to go when the tornado drills went off mid-dump, and 46 students and teachers packed into the bathroom with me. FML

Messed up

By Anonymous - 04/07/2022 15:30 - India - Gurgaon

Today, my brain is all messed up, and my stomach is churning at the thought of going to school, which starts from tomorrow. I was never like this before the lockdown at least. I liked going to school; now I despise it. My social life is now shit, and I have no idea if my mental health is alright. FML

Today, and for a long time, I've had a phobia of schools. I'm extremely stressed out about starting in a new school. Normal, right? Yes, except that I'm the teacher. 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.

I have social anxiety disorder as well, it's definitely so difficult! I'm going to CBT now and it helps a lot, OP. Maybe you can look into it, because you can overcome it! Good luck OP!

Know the feeling. Mine is not as bad, but I totally get it.

So let me get this straight... you would rather have everyone looking at you while you pissed/shit yourself, instead of having them look at you while you raised your hand and request to go take care of your business? Here is a diagnosis for you... quit being a pansy.

Which is unhealthy and blatantly unnecessary at the same time.

Better yet here is a cure for your social anxiety... pretend your in a fmylife forum in real life. None of you seem to have social anxiety here. (and yes this is a "social" network) When you start acting like a bad ass and it back fires on you though try to refrain from rage quitting your life.

I do the same thing.! Except I have to make sure everyone is out of the bathroom, all sinks are on, and have a friend make the hand dryers go off so nobody hears me.
