Stay strong my dear...you are not alone
I used to work though until I cast one kin cast way I cast for work ehn cause of anxiety.. LoL 😂

I had to jejely sack myself Coz omo to be coming to the same place everyday I couldn't just bear it

Funny thing is it the panic and stuffs happens without warning

Currently I'm learning coding and system related skills, My close friend circle that was about 3 has drastically reduced to only one person.

Sometimes I wish there was a Whatsapp group were people with same issues could just hang out and make friends with people that understand, dunno if there is any

Again stay strong my dear
Thanks man, I hope you stay strong too

I'll advice you to visit a psychiatrist. It's something that can be resolved especially in it's early phase.
Okay, I’ll try to locate one. Thanks

You can use Google to look for medical institutions in Nigeria that treat SAD. For now, I don't know of any.
Alright man

A lot of people commenting on this thread don't even know what social anxiety (aka social phobia) is.

For starters, it is not a matter of confidence, rather, it is a sickness/medical condition, (just like malaria, typhoid and other sicknesses). It has nothing to do with confidence, fear, weakness of the mind or low self-esteem.

The solution is to seek medical intervention, as social anxiety can be medically treated.
Exactly bro , it’s not a confidence issue , it’s an illness . Even people who have witness me in my element when interacting one on one or interacting in a group of 5 , still judge when I can’t keep my shit together in a crowd , we don’t take stuff like this serious in these parts. I don’t even know where I can see a support group in this Lagos or where I can seek help, are there even any?

Its Social anxiety disorder (not a diagnose)
From what I've gathered it could be trauma response, genetic, upbringing or even acquired as we grow older

I'm going through this as well and trust me its he.ll
If you don't go through this you may never understand. My neighbors don't get me, they think I'm proud, snobbish, aloof etc some Even think I'm crazy ...my self confidence is now minus 500
Once upon a time I kinda built my confidence but somehow I've graduated to avoidance personality
Ever since I started noticing shakiness,heart palpitations and stammering in social situations

I'm in my house 24/7 no job since March and people think I'm lazy or complain when I try to tell them so I box it all up
Even a family doctor scolded me saying I should "snap" out of it , like it's that easy for me,😩
No respect, no joy , loosing opportunities daily
I'm planning on seeing a psychiatrist soon
People really don't get it

It's really cr.azy
You’re right . Just yesterday I attended a family member’s naming ceremony, the thing is my own anxiety dosent just start immediately , it starts when I stay longer. In the first two hours , I’m good. When I decide to take my leave, these same family members who have witness subsequent panic episodes of mine will insist that I stay, that I’m too proud blah blah , why I’m I leaving when everyone is gathered. If only they knew all the strength I had to gather to even be there, they wouldn’t judge me so much. Because they are the only ones that could really bring me out of my house , I don’t have any friends that could invite me anywhere. And not a month or two goes by that a family member won’t have anything to celebrate.

My life is quite similar with yours , though I work , but I had sacrifice a higher pay department because of the crowd in that department , and go for a department with lesser pay where we are just 5 in numbers. Even at that , it’s still hell for me. All I do is go to work and return home , neighbors don’t get it , like you , they think I’m proud , aloof , although I exchange pleasantries, but obviously, it’s not enough. They want something I can’t give. And I can identify with all the symptoms you listed.
