Anxiety became worse

[David55]

Hi all, I have Aspergers syndrome and I've lived with social anxiety to some degree for my whole life, yet I have noticed that in the last 5 years and especially the last 2 years that I've became increasingly apologetic and insular. I'd often hesitate to say things on the off-chance that it'll cause some offence, misunderstanding or generally showing controversy in any way; yet a few years ago I'd actually enjoy getting into spirited debates.

I've had trust issues in the past, and in the past 5 years or so it feels like I've lost the passions, hobbies etc of what I used to be like in university.

I've been getting back into old music and hobbies, regaining my confidence wherever that went.

Thanks for any help.

David

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. My Aspergers can effect me in other ways, good and bad. It can be confusing in a way as it can make me uncomfortable with social interaction yet I also enjoy talking on forums like this and meeting some people IRL. Sometimes it feels like I want to be alone but not lonely- so like I said, confusing.
