I'm not sure what exactly is the matter with me. I wouldn't say social anxiety, because the only time I get anxiety to be social is before lunch ,and that's only when the one person I talk to at the table isn't there ;especially if that happens on Thursdays and Fridays, because on those two days we go to the gym the last 15 minutes. Basically everyone ignores me when I go (to the gym). All I do is sit on the stage with the people I sit with at lunch and do nothing.(one day it was horrible because the people @ my table where talking to different people (like walking around away from the stage) and I didn't want to barge in acting as though we're really close friends so I just sat on the stage alone.)
But yea lunch is the worst time of the day- everyday. Speaking of the people I sit with at lunch- we used to be really close but some long and complicated things happen between us so now they got new friends and I only have one person I talk to at lunch, and when she's not there: it's agony. I have about 3 friends at school & outside of school. I only hang out with one outside of school and we have been friends for my whole life- before I got seriously shy.
I wasn't like this for my whole life. If I was I wouldn't mind it, but I'm an extreme extrovert. It's honestly complicated why i am in my social position I am in. I feel like the problems are too petty for a therapist and I've tried bring this up to my mom but she just brushed it off. Not to mention it takes a shit load of courage to ever bring it up to some one. I hate it so much. I'm missing out on my life and it's making me so sad. I never hang out with my friends ( that one girl I said (the one I've known forever) she's super stubborn to hangout, so when I say "hang out" I mean like every few months) but my brother and sister do all the time so it's really furthering my embarrassment hanging out with my parents all the time. I can't carry a normal conversation- I'm too awkward and I don't know what to say- it's like my mind goes blank. The only time I'm okay with talking to people is when I talk about the work we have to do. Like give people the page numbers for a book or something. Yea so I don't know what to do and I'm begging for advice.
