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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
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. FML
Today, my social anxiety got so bad that I'm now afraid to add people on Facebook. FML
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
Today, the first day of school, I threw up on my teacher in the middle of class. FML
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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

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.
