Interviews, dates, school.. at some point early on you are going to be asked to tell them about yourself.
I freeze up at it and ask what they want to know, and usually that annoys them. I can't for the life of me find out what to say that won't be a disaster or make me feel more anxious.
I'm sick of not being able to interact with people normally. I'm sick of not being able to talk about myself. Seriously, what do people expect to hear?
Now I realize this is a forum for socially anxious people, but if any of you who beat it, or have a milder form of it have any hints, and tips on how to answer that question?
