Social anxity

LegacyUser

One year ago i was very confident. I could talk to anybody , was funny , good at telling stories etc.

This has slowly declined in the last year. Now i find it hard to hold a conversation and rarely take it beyond small talk. I can never crack a joke or tell a story as i kinda get lost in my head half way true. I think ive become a very boring person as i never say much. I also find myself slurring my words and mixing them up which has made all of this even worse. I think i might have developed social anxity which has been getting me down a lot recently as ive just started college and wish I could be the same person i was a year ago as im sure i would be having a far better time. Im even quite im drunk.

However I have no problem talking to strangers asking for directions, lighters etc.

What can i do about this as its really?

Have you settled in to college, made friends, joined any societies?
Have a chat with a gp when you get a chance.

Also are you drinking a bit too much? Try and go a bit easy on yourself.

Take care

I'm the opposite.

I had such social anxiety up until I turned 18 in Jan.
I have become a more outgoing person.
I used to be afraid to meet new people because I couldn't hold a conversation.
I maid stronger friendships in my last fee months if school and since starting college a month ago I have made it so easy to make friends, I talk to anyone now that I realised most people are genuine nice people who just want to have friends

Ya I have made a couple of friends but i just find it very annoying that ive ended up like this and cant seem to snap out of it.

And i usually only drink once every two or three weeks.

Thats good to hear Hollister11 hope your enjoying it.
