Social Anxiety
I'm currently preparing for a competitive examination (JEE) and as due to the lockdown in Delhi, everything is online. I'm not a very good student and my preparation is not going well. I'm not comfortable in talking to teachers(1 might lie to them about my preparation) and I can't even talk to my batchmates comfortably. If i have to at some instance, i feel anxious. And after the talk i overthink about it a lot. That's why I have headaches, heart rate generally over 100. I cannot focus and complete important work. If i ever start a conversation for a important work i feel like ending it as soon as i can. I feel If i talk long enough other person will start having a wrong idea about me and start disliking me
