Please stop comparing the two.

Social anxiety is being afraid of social situations and/or judgement from others.

Generalized anxiety is being afraid. Having to live in fear, having to fight to do simple or every day things that the average person would have no problem with because you're afraid.

I'm not saying that social anxiety isn't hard, but being extremely shy is a far cry from living in constant fear of everything. It's an understatement to true anxiety and I'm sure offensive to those that can't live without the heavy stress of being afraid and the chance of panic at every corner, so stop acting like they're all so similar.

For ******** sake
I was trying to give you advice
I wasn't aware I'm supposed to know everything about you. Don't assume people should just automatically know something that you don't inform them of.

Even so, you're not the first one to be like "Insert my advice here, trust me I have social anxiety" which is so far from relevant to me it's exasperating.
My other thread aside, this is an annoying subject that comes up a lot

Don't snap at people for something they don't know.
It's immature. It really is.
You literally have no right to get upset at a person who makes a vague generalization based on something that's more common, when you have not made any mention beforehand of it being something other than what the first generalization would be.

You can't.
At all.

It would be like me getting upset because someone generalized that my favourite colour is red, because red is a popular favourite colour; even though I had made no mention as to my preferred colour preferences.

Well, I see where you're coming from, but sometimes general anxiety could be a lot less worser then social anxiety. Just because yours isn't as bad, doesn't mean it can't be bad.
But I'm not saying that social anxiety is worse, they're both terrible to live with.

Don't give someone advice when you don't know their situation. I said "panic attack" in my main post, so I did make a mention of what I had beforehand. Panic attacks don't generally happen to people with social anxiety, so I'm confused as to why you still gave me advice that was backed up with saying you have experience with social anxiety. I'm not afraid the doctor is gonna talk to me or judge me, I'm afraid of the doctor.
AND your advice was a very "cold turkey" approach. Many people can't just do what they're afraid of. Yes, they have to get to the root, but they usually have to take steps and your advice was useless to me because I felt that it was very disregarding.
Sorry you took me not liking your advice so rough. I'm over it though. emotion_bandaid

I completely disagree, but thanks for the opinion
