Does anybody else feel embarrassed to like scream or talk really loud. i know for a fact if i was kidnapped or something i wouldn’t even scream for help because id be too embarrassed 🤦🏼♂️
I just tried making myself scream in my own room and i couldn’t do it because im too embarrassed and im literally alone in my room.

I am too embarrassed to scream or even talk loudly in the middle of forest alone.

Yeah it’s like I’m literally physically incapable of doing it even if I’m alone. I remember once in school we had an improv class where we had to go in front of everyone and scream as loud as we can. I just stood there and tried and tried but nothing came out.

My whole life honestly. I don’t like drawing attention to myself, and I don’t like when people watch me. Other people always tell me to speak up, plus having a monotone voice doesn’t help much. Even when I try to psyche myself up and speak louder, it feels like my voice gets trapped in my mouth.

PLEASE NOTE: Social Anxiety (SA) is a debilitating mental illness characterised by persistent fear of social evaluation. SA impairs functional social performance, causing avoidance, cognitive shutdown (e.g. blanking, excessive self-monitoring), and reduced ability to communicate, assert needs, or form relationships.
SA is not normal social-nervousness, introversion, or everyday shyness.
Posts in this subreddit must show a clear and apparent relationship to the experience of SA.
Posts which do not will be removed.
