Hi everyone, I have always been very shy I hated talking to people when I was a child, wouldn’t go anywhere without my mum, I’m 28 now and I still need her as much as I ever have - not in the same way obviously I go out by myself but I’m always on edge. I was made redundant 16 months ago from a job I loved because I didn’t have to talk to many adults (nursery nurse). I’ve been on many interviews but am so nervous I never get anywhere. Yesterday I went for another interview, stumbled through the presentation I had to do, shaking while I answered the interview questions but somehow got the job, they called me today to let me know. Since then all I’ve done is panic - what if people don’t like me, I have nothing to wear, I’m fatter than everyone else, I don’t know where to go when I get there. All these irrational thoughts run through my head all the time I feel like such an idiot and a total loser in life. I’m sad all the time not because I’m depressed but because I see all these normal confident people out living their lives while I’m wasting mine because I’m to shy and nervous to do anything. Please help.
