I was just wondering if anyone has heard of social anxiety in children? I tried to go on a date tonight and got so nervous that I threw up (this has happened before) well I am 29. So I got home and started thinking way back into my life and I am thinking I might have been having this my whole life. I am really embarassed to talk to my doctor about it too, I know I shouldn’t be but every time I try to, I chicken out, so I was just wondering if people out there with this condition have had it a long time or if it just all of a sudden develops.
Believe it or not, I have that "disorder". I become ill in social areas. I have anxiety, I sweat, I`m nervous and I just want to exit-Fast. I began having this in my early 20`s. Doctors cannot do anything about this. Although, ! remedy that works for me is, I take a shot of vodka then a breath mint before I socialize. I do not recommend this for just anyone. But, it helps me greatly. p.s. I don’t drive after -S
I’ve always been envious of those people that can just talk really easily to new people they meet and don’t seem to get nervous at all.
I have bad social anxiety, and its impossible for me to be myself when meeting new people, or be at all confident. I get really sick with anxiousness when I’m going somewhere I know a lot of people will be.
I need to get over this because I’m going to college soon and no-one I know will be there..
Is there anything I can do to stop this? Any tips…?
Take a speech class. This helpful, because you have to overcome it and everyone else is in the same boat. You are also thinking about other things, such as what you are speaking about, learning to become more organized and prepared around others, more composed, etc. Join some clubs where you can learn about something you are interested in, and be with others with similar interests. Volunteer to help others in some way. This will help you think of the people you are helping, and think less of your insecurities. It could be fun, too. Get a pet. They are nonjudgemental, help you get out with others (if it is a dog), fun when people say, "What a cute dog" and ask questions about the cutie. Or volunteer with a rescue league where you can help with the pets, but not own one if you are not in that position. Get more sleep, cut down on caffiene, eat a healthy diet, remember that we all have faults. We might be to short, too tall, fat, skinny (yes, they make fun of that, too), too talkative, too quiet, etc. You are you and you need to appreciate who you are. Try writing down everything about yourself you like or appreciate. Then, try thinking about these things, more often.
I never had any problems with being social in my life, but for the past year or so whenever I even think about going out on a Saturday night, I get horrible anxiety, stomach aches, nausea, and diarhea. I am terrified that if I go out I will get sick and/or make a fool out of myself. I am not sure if social anxiety disorder can come out of the blue like this. I was just wondering if anyone else has had experience with this. I am curious to know if I can ever get better.
I have had the same problems and it did come out of the blue for me too. My doctor perscribed Zoloft for the social anxiety and xanax for the anxiety attacks. Not on any medications now and I do fine in social settings with no anxiety at all.
Rarely do i feel anxious socially, but when I do, my throat feels like it has a lump in it and is tight. Does anyone know how to get past these social anxiety problems and throat tightness?
Hi Jake
It happens to me also. My Doc said to breath deep through my nose 4sec in 4sec hold 4sec exhale etc. It works for me. He said it gives more ox to the brain so it can think better. I do it before I go into and while I`m in a store etc, Try it.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a major trauma. Children and teens with PTSD can have a number of symptoms after a trauma that fall into three categories:
1. Reliving the trauma in some way.
2. Attempts to avoid anything that reminds the child or teen of the trauma.
3. Very high anxiety (also called “hyperarousal”) and being easily startled. Children and teens with PTSD usually have some symptoms from each of these categories.

Social anxiety can be a crippling state of mind and can prevent people from living fulfilling lives. For some, shyness and fear of taking to or meeting other people can mean they never ever go out.
social anxiety isnt something you were born with, it is something you learned and we know you did not learn it deliberately. The good news is that it does not matter why you are so shy and anxious around people, the mental patterns, the imagined and real fears can be effectively dealt with using hypnosis and NLP. Because we do not waste time talking about your childhood or the and things that have happened to you (if going over the past would have helped you would already be OK), and because we focus on what IS going on in your mind, on the habits you have learned, these techniques often bring about rapid, positive and lasting cure.
So it isnt really therapy for social anxiety, it is more a combination of education, training and reconditioning, not so much moving you away from shyness, but moving you towards more balanced and appropriate feelings of confidence.
Anyone can learn to overcome shyness, however bad it has been in the past, and the techniques we use have been proven to be effective time and time again with all forms of anxiety and anxiousness, so do get in touch with us for help with these problems, as this treatment, or these treatments, tend to be very effective, very quickly, in the majority of cases.
JustBeWell is based in the UK, the USA, Australia and Canada and Ireland, and any one of our experienced practitioners will be please to talk with you about how they can help you.

This debilitating disorder has its source largely in trauma, sustained early in life. Critical, judgemental upbringings along with repetitive violent communication tend to traumatize people leaving their nervous systems overly sensitive. The person becomes hypervigilent and overly attuned to the outside voices. Their self esteem suffers and an inferiority complex may ensue. While understanding the sources of social anxiety is important, the reality is that the patterns and the neural pathways are already in place thus demanding a cognitive undoing of the condition.

By nature I am shy and dont open up. I think I get this from my father, which I dont get a long with because I resent him (i cant help it). When I have a kid I want to make sure she/he is confident and strong (my dad never enforced that on me). How can I make sure they will have good conversational skills, be strong & confident?
I think your line of thinking is correct, that we teach our children so much by example. If you’re worried that your own personality traits will develop by mere example in your child, perhaps you should work on changing those traits in yourself that you dislike. I don’t know for sure, but I’m thinking that if you’re overconcerned about your child developing social anxiety that you might end up creating just what you sought to dispel.
As a teen I realized that I had certain personality traits which were a direct result of my stepfather’s treatment. To say I resent him is putting it mildly, so that became my source of strength and determination in purging those traits from myself. It also helped me with parenting my sons, because I’m determined not to repeat what I experienced or be the cause of them feeling as I have felt. I hope that makes sense.
