Today, my social anxiety got so bad that I spent an entire raffle game desperately praying that I'd lose miserably, just so I wouldn't have to go up on stage and accept it. FML

I didn't enter the raffle on purpose! It was a work event, and they gave us a ticket when we came in the door without telling us exactly what it was for. They had us rip them in half and keep one, then put the other in a container. I thought it was for attendance, or the food, or something. Then, toward the end of the event, they started drawing tickets and calling out the numbers on them for various prizes.

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Lose miserably in a raffle? That's pretty bad anxiety attacks, maybe next time not enter the raffle or not be around enough people to have a raffle

You don't have to get up and accept if you win. Just sit there and do nothing.

I'm the same. My mum entered me into a raffle once and when I won I sent my 9 year old brother to get the prize for me :/

I suffer from social anxiety too, OP. My friends don't understand why I get worked up over simple situations like going to a new buffet style restaurant and I can't go first or by myself cause I'm so scared I don't know what exactly to do and I'll look like an idiot. It sucks. But you're not alone

I feel you OP, I get it too - sometimes it feels like a split personality (that I'm 100% aware of) it's so different to myself. The funny thing is no one would ever know that I get it. Hell I get it having a beer with work friends.

I'm like that sometimes. I want to win but I don't want to get up in front of people.

I feel your pain. I take F's in class that require oral reports
