Social anxiety

2015-08-16 12:38:55
I've been experiencing some acute anxiety and self-esteem issues over the last one year. While talking to anyone, I get nervous, go blank or am embarrassed that the other person will notice me swallowing my saliva and know that I'm actually nervous. I can't smile, let alone enjoying any social scenario unless I'm drunk
