(I apologize if I put this in the wrong category or something, I haven't been on here a while, so...)

Okay, well... I have really bad social anxiety, and I just started high school, so I'm very stressed out... I want to make friends, but I freak out whenever I try to talk to people.. q - q (like, if someone talks to me, I end up either running away, or hiding, and crying. dies) Another problem I have is that most people (possibly... I don't know, since I don't talk to people.) don't like the kinda stuff I like, and I only really get along with people that have similar interests as me. (I like (more like obsessed with) anime/manga, vocaloid/utau, making ocs.)

I've had social anxiety most of my life, I think... or at least starting in 5th grade. (I also do go to therapy, but they don't really help with anything, honestly.) (I possibly (most likely) have Aspergers' syndrome, so... just saying.)

- I also had crippling social anxiety most of my life. When I started high school, I had no interest in making friends. At least that's different for you... You're trying.

When I did start trying to make friends 2 years ago, I would always freeze and have panic attacks when I attempted to talk. When I eventually started therapy, my anxiety got worse.

At the advice of my therapist, I started taking medication to control my anxiety last year. Since then, I've made several friends, had a few boyfriends, and can talk to people without wanting to run and hide in a corner. Is medication something you have considered?

I agree with star_cherry's recommendation of talking to your therapist about trying new treatment methods. Also one thing you have to keep in mind is that you don't have to have a lot of common interests to get along with someone. If I could tell my teenaged-self one thing, it would be to stop taking my self-image so seriously and not worry about what people think of my choices. Don't be afraid to reach out to someone you think could be a friend.
