[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Do you think you  might have some general social anxiety as well?[/b]  It's normal to be nervous before an interview (unless you're so arrogant you think you have it in the bag, or you don't care about the job), but this sounds like more than just the usual nerves.

How old are you?  How long have you been working?  Some of this stuff does get easier with time and experience, but if you have an anxiety issue, just practicing might not make it go away.[/quote]

Yeah, it sounds like you probably have[b] social anxiety disorder[/b].   It is more than just typical interview nerves.  It is a social phobia and it can be debilitating.  The good news is that you can get help for it in the form of exposure therapy, medicine, etc.   A prescription medication can really take the edge off, but the exposure therapy--that can change your life![/quote]

[b]What is exposure therapy? Do I need to see a therapist for that[/b]?[/quote]

It is cognitive behavior therapy whereby you are exposed to the fearful situation in steps/situations and you would need to see a therapist.  Some people are able to get relief in just a few sessions.   Facing the fear is no cake walk, but there is relief on the other side!
