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

Lonely, so lonely
Today, I realised that my social anxiety, fear of people's judgment, social isolation, you name it, have got so bad that I literally have no interests. It got to such a point that I even have nothing to search up in the internet, so I just stare at an empty browser page wondering what should I do with my life. FML

Today, I have no friends because I have severe anxiety and severe social anxiety. I thought I had family but as it turns out, my family is trying to get rid of me by sending me away. FML

Today, my social anxiety hit a new low. I was playing bingo and, although I won, I didn't shout "bingo" because I thought too many people would look at me. FML

Today, I finally worked up the guts to add the guy I like on Facebook. To make it less obvious, I added 15 other people as well. Everyone added me back, except him. FML

What happens if they don't accept? Or even worse. What happens if they post on your wall saying "Do I know you?" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I'm sorry, OP. I have general anxiety disorder with a special hint of SAD.. It's super rough, and I know just what you mean by this FML. Rarely anyone understands what people with social anxiety go through just to function, which will prompt a lot of jokes on this comment thread. Sometimes it's a struggle to go into a convenient store. It does get better, though, I promise you this. It's an every day struggle, but it gets easier. Best of luck, OP. You're not alone in this. Wtfbbqsauce?! /I felt my comment was a little too helpful for the usual FML shit so there's some idiocy for you!

take some xanax and accept everyone.or you could accept or deny based on whether you like them or not.stop caring so much about what other people think or the amount of friends you have.just a thought.

social anxiety doesn't work like a light switch. you can't just turn it on or off as you please. it takes time to get over things.

I hear you. Hold on in there, it will get better. P.S.: I recommend reading F*** it by John C. Parkin, it's brilliant.

Whenever my anxiety gets bad I delete my entire facebook. You're not alone. Ask the doctor for clonazepam or something. Hope you are doing okay, a lot of people have anxiety - it sucks and can be very frustrating and annoying, especially when others just don't get it.. but you can get through.

clonazepam?! are u serious? I don't think a heavy antipsychotic drug is a great solution.try a therapist and actually work on your problem instead.that actually helped me with anxiety more than running to the pharmacy.my comment about xanax earlier was sarcastic.I thought it was obvious

I'm to shy to make posts and when I do I freak out about what I wrote it sucks!
