Is this social anxiety?

[User17273637373]

Whenever I go out, I get the most horrendous anxiety the next day.

I do drink but not a lot - of course, after one or two drinks, I might get a little more confidence and talk a bit more than I usually do. Even if I don’t drink, I still like a chat though and can be very outgoing.

The next day I cringe at what I’ve said (literally think about every single thing I said) and over analyse everything. I always end up thinking I said something wrong or something to offend someone or I looked silly etc.

I’m always worried how ill be perceived by others and a bit of a people pleaser so I guess this may feed into that. It’s just getting me down and getting me to a point where I don’t want to be sociable anymore.

It’s Hangxiety

Yes that's social fear/ worry. But there's a difference between worry, fear, and anxiety:

Worry (negative thoughts about future or past events) and fear (impulsive reaction to immediate danger) are normal.

It is an anxiety when it continues for a longer period of time, and negatively impacts your ability to socialise.
