Hi,

Lately I'm having this social shyness i can't explain. it's not like i'm afraid of people judging me, i just get uncomfortable sometimes when there's a lot of strangers around me.

And this is very weird, i didn't use to have this before, it started when i was like 18 and went to college. Now I'm 19 and still have it, even harder than last year but this comes and goes. Yet, i'm not ugly, and i DO have lots of friends i can communicate good with. I even got this reputation of being 'one of the cooler guys' since i'm always having so much fun with my friends and always make them laugh. So I just don't freaking understand why this shyness comes up occasionally.

If it happens, it's like my neck gets stuck and when i try to move it, it starts to literally shake like all the muscles in it are frozen. And sometimes i start to blush so hard for no reason, and it can keep going for a few minutes. In the same situations i just, can chill & have fun, and another time i freeze.


The hard thing about looking for a cure for this, is that i have no bad mental thoughts. Just, shyness for no reason. Or perhaps an unknown reason. It occurs more when i'm very tired and less when i drink some alcohol.

Any advises here on how to get rid of this ? Or anyone suffering the same ?
