For example, I assume that what I say will not be funny or I will sound stupid. I wonder how others find it so easy to laugh and joke and flow a conversation together. This is particularly the case in large groups. What can I do to help beat this shyness and get more involved in conversation?

What are some key differences between shyness and social anxiety? (Answers: 7) (Comments: 0)

Ever since I was a child I've been the quiet non-social type. Even today at the age of 21 I only have a couple close friends and am extremely shy. I often wonder if it's social anxiety or just simply extreme shyness. It's hard for me to initiate conversations with people, I hate when people compliment me sometimes, I feel awkward sometimes in public. I try to get out on weekends, but mostly by myself or with just one friend. I also suffer from panic attacks from time to time, but is rarely initiated from social situations
