hi

Hello everyone, I am starstorm, I am a uni student, I have serious social anxiety and paranoia, I am very scared of people in general. I came to The Mix to see if I can meet some new people and just chat with someone. Does anyone feel like others are laughing/talking about them? Or does anyone have anxiety around people? Share if you want to. Hope everyone is having a good week.

I can to relate to some of those feelings of social anxiety. There's also something you might have heard about called the spotlight effect, which is a common experience for young people. It's that feeling where you think everyone is paying a lot of attention to you and everything you do, when in reality people tend not to notice us more than we notice people ourselves.
Hope to see you around - this is a place of non-scary people!
