How can social anxiety be treated?
human
Good evening. I m 21 and I ve always been a shy person, when I was younger I used to sweat a lot because of it and I could barely speak with anyone. As I got older I became more and more sociable, now I ve got friends, I m getting along with everyone at work and I m feeling quite good with myself. I ve never been depressed and I m a really happy person. The problem that I m facing is that whenever I talk to somebody, with anyone at all, my heart starts to rush and my face becomes red in just one second. I blush like I ve done some dumb thing and it s intense and very very red, anyone notices it. I ve tried to get it gone by going out as much as possible and I ve learned that when I get comfortable with someone, the blush and red face thing disappears (but it took 2 years to get comfortable with my boss for example). I m aware the problem might be associated with anxiety, but I ve never taken pills for it. I just want the blushing to go away, as that will make me less awkward and better in general.
