Just asking here but is social anxiety an actual recognised medical condition and you've been diagnosed with it? Or a convenient excuse?

Thank you

Plus you haven't answered why she grabbed the other persons wrist? Cheers

You are still talking nonsense talk. No one thinks it's a good idea to approach this girl, now that we are aware of your condition. So we don't need any more reasons from you.

Then you describe an incident you observed that has nothing to do with your problem. I am not sure why.

Exactly. The OP was all about this woman he works with and he thinks she's beautiful and she's said hi to him and smiles but he won't make eye contact, do we think he should talk to her. Now it's all about she's a terrible person and a violent assaulter, and his mom says she's making fun of him. This whole situation seems totally legit.

Sounds more like this:

Avoidant personality disorder

Cluster C comprises avoidant, dependent, and anankastic personality disorders. People with avoidant PD believe that they are socially inept, unappealing, or inferior, and constantly fear being embarrassed, criticized, or rejected. They avoid meeting others unless they are certain of being liked, and are restrained even in their intimate relationships. Avoidant PD is strongly associated with anxiety disorders, and may also be associated with actual or felt rejection by parents or peers in childhood. Research suggests that people with avoidant PD excessively monitor internal reactions, both their own and those of others, which prevents them from engaging naturally or fluently in social situations. A vicious circle takes hold in which the more they monitor their internal reactions, the more inept they feel; and the more inept they feel, the more they monitor their internal reactions.

Another excuse or justification from him not approaching her perhaps

It means I have mix feelings about her, I find her attractive and something we have in common is that we are both vegetarians but she is way more outgoing and way more attractive plus people who say its not a big deal to talk to her dont understand what its like to have social anxiety. I was already bad aa a kid, now its worse, I sometimes physically shake and breathing and heart beat get faster and that happens when being around people and seeing them stare at me. I only have 1 friend in life but I dont see him since I live in another state so I am alone all the time. She is on another level. I dont want to embarrass myself or her.

Out of curiosity, how old are you? You also may want to consider cutting Mom's apron strings, she sounds a little too involved in your personal life.

What medications are you taking for your illness, or what sort of regular therapy do you receive? They don't seem to be working so I would consult with your mental health caregiver to try a new approach.

If you come back here and tell us that you are wandering through this personal hell on earth that is your life without proper psychiatric treatment, we are all going to get even more frustrated with you.
