It is affecting my life so much. I can't talk to people I don't know very well, I start to get shakey and panicy and end up rambling and feeling awkward. I'd love to make some new friends, but I have no idea how to do this. It scares me. I want to go out for a night out in the place I am in, but I'm too terrified
It's affecting applying for jobs. For example, there are lot's of graduate jobs out there that I haven't applied for because I do not feel I am good enough.
People always comment on me being really quiet/not confident so it is noticeable.
