    Thanks for sharing your view Minka, it pretty much sums up my feelings about it. Unfortunately, if you have social anxiety it will be with you for life. I am 30 now, and despite tackling it head on throughout my 20s, it still feels like a constant battle. Connecting with people, whether it be dating women, or trying to form new friendships, is still very challenging for me - I get that sick feeling in my stomach you describe, sweats, and sometimes have to clench my fists to stop my hands shaking. Most people can't even tell how uncomfortable I am, because I have learnt to hide it so well.

    Hi, I have also been in situations where I feel like the 3rd wheel it's uncomfortable, like you I avoid them when I can. I prefer 1 on 1 as well. As for friends the way I look on it is only true friends matter & it's not worth going out with people who make you feel uncomfortable. Have a good week, Minka
  • Hi minka, I enjoy listening to you. I see a lot of me in you. Sometimes we don't realize how much anxiety we have. My stuttering was lot worse when I was younger but I can't get rid of it and probably never will. I still get very upset when I'm bad. I always tell myself to go slow or calm down but for me it is not easy. Keep up the great work.

    I'm also very introverted, but sometimes I wonder if that's only because of my stutter... I love people, but whenever I'm with others I just can't wait until I can be alone. I've thought about it a lot, and I'm really not sure how much of my introvertetness is caused by the stuttering...

  • @docan5248
    Do you think your introversion/shyness is rooted in your stuttering? That's what I wonder myself. Am I really shy, or is it only because I have a stutter.

    Minka, you are so beautiful that you need to have some small imperfection or you would be an angel.
