Hi!
I'm new to the site and just wanted to introduce myself. I'm 31 and have suffered from social anxiety and depression for as long as I can remember. My social anxiety is a LOT better than it used to be, I think CBT is mainly to thank for that. I guess what I'm really here for is to find out whether social anxiety can ever go away completely, I'd love to hear peoples options on that. My worry is although im nowhere near as bad as I used to be, I can't ever imagine not feeling awkward and uncomfortable around people (even family and old friends) and it would be nice to know that it is possible for those feelings of being different can eventually fade away.
Thanks for taking the time to read this :)
