Lately, I have been coping with social anxiety. I have tried to discover/figure out the causes. Maybe, it's because I have been a shy person for a long time. However, in certain/some situations, I know that I am overthinking and scared of being judged. What do you think about a person I believe to be of good nature but who always criticizes me and have nothing in common with me? I am grateful for/ I appreciate her advice but I'd just stay away from her to protect my fragile mind.

Lately, I have been coping with anxiety in social situations. Why does this happen? Maybe it's because I've been shy for so long that I cannot escape it. Or, maybe I just overthink it, or fear being judged. As an example of someone who starts me thinking this way, there is a person who on the surface seems good natured, but is critical, having little in common with me. She makes me uncomfortable, but what am I to do? Though I appreciate some of her advice, I prefer to keep my distance to shelter my fragile ego. errors: "a long time since I am a shy person" "a certain situations" (mixing sigular and plural) "a person WHO I believe is good natureD" "HAS nothing in common" "I appreciate"
