So, I've seen therapists in my adult life. I'm 27 now and it's taken me this long to finally understand that a lot of my behaviors are based off anxiety. Much like an aggressive dog, they dont bite because they're angry. They bite because they're afraid of what they don't know. Anteway, I need to find a CB therapist in San Antonio, TX. If anyone is familiar with the area please comment below.

What I'm really here to ask is, how do any of you acknowledge your social anxiety and explain it to co workers or friends and family. How do you explain your blushing face or your spacy attitude when flight instinct kicks in but you have no where to run to?

I can't get it under control just yet and I keep making myself look more and more like an ass at my new job because you can see my embarrassment all over my face. I don't interact with my coworkers as heavily as they do with each other, I don't hold long conversations and to them I'm "stuck up."

I can't just say, "hey, give me a break, I'm anxious all the time." Because to the rest of the world anxiety doesn't exist and if it does, get over it you're an adult.

Hah I'm losing my mind.

Thanks for reading.
