Today I realized I have social anxiety.

After reading your post - which i feel is written from your heart - i would like to give you some advice. You should learn not to take everything so serious. Don't think about every interaction with people as the people really don't think about it. Realize what's in your had exists only in your head and taking this so serious gives your unnecessary thoughts so much power that you start to act on that. You are in the way of yourself.
And if you feel silly sometimes because you said something stupid in your eyes, then learn to forgive yourself and stop thinking about it over and over. Nobody is perfect ;) . I'm sure you are an awesome person so let your light shine - be you - and don't think you are wrong :)

You are very right. I've had so many people tell me not to take myself so seriously since I was young. Heck, even the secretary at my dentist's office told me that before I moved away for college, haha. It has been a struggle for me for many years. I really need to heed this advice. Thank you!
