Hi, my name is Emma. I've been dealing with social anxiety about as long as I can remember. My mom remembers it all the way back to when I was very young. I've done therapy and been on multiple medications. I work as a receptionist right now which is getting pretty tough these days as the anxiety is getting bad recently.
My biggest issues have always been dealing with embarrassment and rejection. Lately I've been unbearably lonely and feeling like I have no friends. I have a good support system from my family but I've lost a lot of friends over the years because of my issues. I also have been dealing with rejection from the opposite sex since I was a teen. I've never really had someone love me in a romantic sense and it's something I've always wanted.
My sister suggested talking to some people online so here I am :?
