I was an extremely shy child. I only told the doctor a couple of days ago that I would like some sort of therapy as I seem to be getting worse. I have had a lot on my plate for the past couple of years and the stress has brought up issues from the past. I am avoiding more and more social situations. My partner that I have been with for over 30 years does not know about my social anxiety and thinks I am ' a bad mixer' with people. The only other person I confided in after I had been to the doctor was my only close friend ( I worked with her for 8 years and we got on very well and still do) She was quite surprised by my 'confession' but was very supportive and understanding. She has suffered from stress at work over the past couple of months so she listened and to me and and was supportive and encouraged me to seek further help. I identified so much with this article "Too Old". I am in my early 50’s and have had this for as long as I can remember. I was an extremely shy child.
