[quote=Anonymous]I was like this as a teen and young adult. It has taken practice, therapy & meds for me to overcome it. My big fear was not knowing how the interaction was supposed to go. Doing something wrong and being judged for it. I also had/have really low self-esteem so there was the added fear of being judged for my appearance AND my awkwardness. Helping her practice would be useful. Explain the steps in the interaction and suggest she come up with a script in her head to prepare. I still rely on scripts in my head frequently. Good luck! And ignore all the nasty posters who clearly don’t understand anxiety and how our society is increasingly pushing us away from “normal” human interaction. I don’t think they’d say that nasty stuff to your face ?[/quote]
