i dont know if i have it, but i dont like going out much. im 18 and im definitley a homebody. i guess i used to want to go places but as i got older i dont anymore. i spend alot of time working also, and have big goals. i dont sweat or panic, but i do get nervous wondering what ppl think of me. i feel i have to be on my guard and cant relax. i also feel i dont connect with the ppl. any suggestions on how to want to do more stuff?
Answer:
If these thoughts are causing you to be dysfunctional, that is an indicator that your Social Anxiety Disorder needs treatment. Lexapro greatly assisted my wife and step daughter. It literally changed their lives.
There are 100's of self help books on Social anxiety written by some pretty smart people. You can find them on the web.
Good luck.

Talk with your friends, if they don't like going out either, start to talk to other people too. Build up your confidence by talking to girls and generally new people (not as easy as im making it out to be).
Caring what people think of you is a classic sign of anxiety...Who cares what other people think!They're not thinking about you at all...Please don't fall into that trap of worrying what people think about you and pleasing your parents or anyone else, or it will develop into an anxiety disorder or depression...email me and i'll help you...If you're a homebody, get out and do things even if you don't feel like it and find explore the things the world has to offer...God Bless
You are just an introvert and there is nothing wrong with that. Introverts are usually deep thinkers and prefer not to be in the limelight but they are a minority so they always feel like there is something wrong with them. Read "The Introvert Advantage". It will make you feel better about yourself. I can't remember the author.
doesn't really sound like social anxiety. you could just be an introvert. if it is interferring with your daily life then tell your doc and get some meds for it.
NO one is going to like this answer except for the people who know im right. i did this for my brother.. got him to smoke weed! :) He started meeting up with friends all the time and having a great time, now he is like the most popular guy in school and doesnt even smoke any more. He just needed it to feel accepted into some groups and now adays he is a very confident guy and all the girls like that. Smoking weed takes care of most of those "scared about what ppl think of me" situations..
try joining a club or church
