Post Reply New Topic

Hi everyone, I am an aspie with severe social anxiety. In classrooms, my face goes red easilly and my throat cramps up. My social anxiety comes from my low self-esteem from being made fun of and being alienated my whole schooling career. People tell me im slow, or stupid, my voice sounds strange, i have weird posture, i walk awkwardly(like im stiff, whatever that means), my jokes are cheesy or I am cheesy,i need to get a life, when i talk my mouth slopes at an angle, im a fag, im a nerd, im skinny and weak, etc. I feel like everyone is judjing me. I have NO friends at all,and I try so hard to fit in. I feel like im treading water. Right now I will be entering my sophomore year at high school, and im sick of this crap happening every single friggin year. School starts in 5 friggin days and it will be a fresh new year. I want some advice ASAP! Thanks very much!! !! !! !! !! !! !

antidepressants like paroxetine do help a little with that.

Fluoxetine, Xanax and Oxazepam can help.

But also you should not tolerate that kind of behaviour.

You should speak to a senior person within your school and explain that you have a health condition that, technically, fits the legal description of a disability.
Therefore, they have to make reasonable adjustments for you to help you and also you have to make sure that they are aware that you are picked on and that they do something about it.

Are there any bullying support groups in your area? Perhaps they could help.

You have every right to walk as you please - if people pick on you that just shows that they are pretty bad people and have a lot less right to be on this earth than you.
If it gets really bad, maybe take some legal advice.

I think I understand the 'throat cramps up' thing. If it's the same thing I get, then it's very frustrating. I don't know how to solve that one in particular, but anxiety in general can be helped with meds, if you're OK with trying them.

Oh and I had the 'stupid and slow' crap from everyone in school for five years as well. Because whenever I was asked a question, even if I knew it, I just wouldn't answer because I'd panic. It made me kinda depressed really, but I've now got over it and realised that it was actually the people doing that who were stupid. You don't wanna be friends with people like that if they treat you that way.
