Is social anxiety real or are people just exaggerating?

Of course a normie bitch that's been accepted all her life thinks it's not a problem. I promise you if shed suffered even half the amount of rejection people here have the bitch would have killed herself 10x. Social anxiety isn't genetic, its an acquired trait learned from years of reinforcement
social anxiety is a meme.

It's fake just like depression, schizophrenia, adhd and so on and so on.

It's normies who are exaggerating it.
haha
its a meme, the problem is when you don't leave your house for 6 months
It depends on what kind you're talking about. If you're on about what every female attention whore says they have, then no. If you're on about the actual social anxiety where people literally shut down when they have to be in social situations, then yes.

Like depression, it's something that people misunderstand because the confuse it with something a lot less serious. With depression it's "feeling sad", while with social anxiety it's "feeling nervous".
The problem is that so many normies who occasionally feel nervous in certain situations (public speaking, talking to someone attractive, etc.) are now running around claiming to have social anxiety, which minimizes the problems of people who can barely even be around strangers without feeling sick.
i used to believe i had some sort of social anxiety when i was younger. now, in theory social situations seem like a non issue, just something i'd rather not take part in. since realizing that there's nothing really to be afraid of, i haven't been. but those are just thoughts and not actions, thinking something and doing something are completely different. i really can't say how i'd fair in social situations today.

Only normies correct other normies
This is not facebook kid, we know you do it there so don't do it here
Ive been so frustrated lately because I feel like I'm making a lot of strides in my life... back in school... dating... yet I feel like people are so disappointed in me a lot of the time because I'm shy or have SA. Guys seem to be really put off by shy girls. Like I'm boring or something... When I really don't think I am it just might take a little more effort for me to get comfortable and open up.
Also in the classes I'm in they're a lot of discussion based classes because I'm in social work.... and some of the teachers seem to think I'm a big slacker because I don't enjoy attempting to speak over all the extroverted people in my class. It's not like I don't have opinions on the topics-I'm just shy and tend not to want to speak in front of a classroom full of people or talk over really outgoing people.
Sometimes I wish people would/could appreciate shy people more for what they are instead of looking down on us or not giving us a second glance/thought.
It's a meme disease now. I was diagnosed with general anxiety and possibly schizophrenia they're considering antipsychotics. I was afraid of anything and everything since childhood. Anxiety groups are a meme. One on one psych and therapist appointments have helped after years of psych wards and ER trips. Twice the police have had to escort me to the psych ward. I'm 19. I've stopped uni twice now. I'm hoping for a last chance with this new med adjustment I have one friend from high school in a different state but where not as close anymore. They gave me adjusted housing, single room one window, and I'm putting up something to drown out noise. Box fans help.
Currently on klonopin, lexapro, wellbutrin.
I don't understand how people with anxiety talk about all this shit all the time. I don't care for those who say it's fake. So long as I can listen to and play music I'll be ok. I think.
It's a meme made by normies who want to fit in somewhere.
