Small talk at parties (especially with aquaintences as opposed to friends) is terrifying. Going new places makes me anxious.....and yet I can be so loud sometimes...

I've always know I am an introvert however social anxiety and anxiety in general has been a new thing for me since I've moved here last year. I am still trying to understand. Just like with you, people that know me and friends would absolutely agree I am the most bubbliest, outgoing, and social person ever. I think it comes with age or different life changes. All the things you mentioned is something I do. Except #4 both of those bother me. I can't do public speaking and small group conversations always make me feel awkward. I prefer the one on one.Jazminehttp://sweetserendipity042512.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678450334416953397.post-12367261649659786512015-04-09T18:25:23.731-04:002015-04-09T18:25:23.731-04:00I'm introverted too, but now I'm curious a...I'm introverted too, but now I'm curious about that quiz you recommended above.
