In the past couple years I've become the go-to girl for my friends if the have problems. I have always had a lot of trouble with my social skills and was recently diagnosed with severe Social Anxiety. Since then I've been trying to talk to my friends to get some of what's on my mind sorted out, but they don't even act like they're listening to me and as soon as I'm done talking they will start rambling about the most petty things I've ever heard. Once I realized talking to them wont help me feel any better about myself I started looking for something like this.

I feel have really low self-esteem because of my Social Anxiety and dread any situation that could require me to interact with people, this includes shopping, ordering food, parties, phone calls,e-mails, IM's, forum posts, and even going to my boyfriend's house. Whenever I go out I fell like everyone is judging me and laughing at me, It's the most awful feeling for me so I avoid large groups as much as possible. My social anxiety has really gotten in the way of my life and personal relationships. I feel like it's suffocating me and I'm not sure what to do anymore...
