Letting Social Anxiety Get the Best of Me

My biggest regret ever is letting my social anxiety get the best of me and stop me from doing the things I want to do. I’ve turned down a job opportunity, never made any close friends, let the one boy I honestly fell in love with slip away my senior year of high school, and dropped several classes in college all because I couldn’t handle being around large groups of people. I've never gone out and done anything that people my age usually do. I’m tired of doing nothing but sit in my room on the computer, second guessing my abilities and never experiencing life. This year, I’m going to try to change this. It’ll be hard, but I’ll be glad I did it later.

Yeah, my life right there.

So after reading that I realised that it's basically my life, sooooooo I'm gonna try to do something about it. I'm going to keep running, lose weight, get a job, pay my parents, save up money for when I move to Oslo, go to school(the worst part is that I can't get up in the morning. But I always end up realising it's not that bad. And I will not give up this time.), get good grades, make friends(maybe re-unite with old ones???), aaaand of course try not to be so awkward....

I don't need a therapist, it wouldn't help anyway, and I'm not going to ask anyone for help, it would be nice to know someone who knows how it feels though...

It'll be hard, but that's life.
