Anxiety

View All My Groups

The hardest question ever for me. There’s a lot to tell but it’s difficult to get everything down in a clear concise way. The single biggest thing outside of my family that has shaped my life to date is the fact that I had social anxiety disorder. I’ve always tried to hide my social issues and appear socially well adjusted without much success. People who don’t know me would most likely view me as quiet and aloof or anti-social. I enjoy interacting and with people, so long as it is with people I know well and am comfortable with. While I'm shy, I'd really like to meet new people and hopefully make new friends.

I work as a junior editor for a trade publication, and yeah, I hate writing headlines. It's either a skill you have or you don't. I don't have it.

If you want to know more, I have a video on Youtube where I talk about my social anxiety. www.youtube.com/chazw14
