Im about to start uni and i have began to grow fear over social situations, i tend to avoid them and now uni is coming up i am dreading it! this is my story, i have always been a 'loud' person, i never had a care in the world. i used to talk freely in groups, with girls, presentations whatever. now in my 2 years of college it has been a living hell for me. when college started i never had any problems i was perfectly 'normal'. but one day it all changed, there was this one pretty girl on enrolment day and she came up to me and introduced herself and i just stood their, blank. somehow i couldnt speak or react, then she left (lol). I then felt my head, face, back and it was all sweating, especially my face it had looked like i came out out of a pool and ever since that day it has gone downhill. from that day one i used to hate doing group work, presentations. I used to worm my way into being with a few close friends group in each class so they would do the presenting, i told a few of my situation. Now, whenever i am on the spot i sweat like a pig and my heart starts to pulsate and my body feel warms then the sweat comes through, if i talk to peeps even boys i sweat ffs. i have not been able to get with a girl in my 2 years at college ffs. the sweating is a instant reaction, i have tried everything, changed diets,breathing, forced myself into situations. it aint worked. like i said i never had this till 2 years ago and now its playing on my mind and i purposely avoid social encounters as i know the taps will start leaking.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
