I have always been uncomfortable with large groups of people and making new friends, but I always just thought that I was shy. I get very nervous with public speaking, and I find it almost impossible to make eye contact with people for more than a few seconds- I get embarrassed or nervous or something like that... If I don't have to talk, I'm usually okay. For instance, I am a dancer and I don't get overwhelming stage fright and before that, I was a gymnast and had to compete in front of a lot of people all the time, which was stressful, but I still did it. Lately, I've noticed that I feel like crying any time anyone confronts me with anything (today, my parents found a goal I had wrote down to loose weight, and they started asking me about it because I guess their worried about my body image and stuff, and i burst into tears. And they were then telling me that I was beautiful and I was already skinny and everything, and when they asked why i started crying, I just cried harder and I have absolutely no idea why). Could this be a mild case of social anxiety disorder, or is it hormones, or is it just shyness? BTW, i'm a 14 year old girl and i just got my period about a month ago (hormones??) Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
