1. I am very introverted. When I have to speak in public or face a large group of people, I get very nervous and can't think straight. I become tongue-tied. 2. I don't feel comfortable walking on the street, always worried about other people's stares. Then I will think for a long time, the more I think, the more I become withdrawn. I think about the past together, and in the end I have no passion for anything. I breathe heavily, and it takes a long time to come out of the shadows. It's really painful.
3. I have particularly high expectations of myself. I always think about my future plans for starting a family and always make one thing seem particularly complicated. I have to be perfect, and if I don't achieve it, I feel like I'm not good enough. I really don't know what to do anymore. I've been struggling with these problems since junior high school, but it's still no use. I just can't control my thoughts, and they're getting worse and worse. Basically, every few days is an ordeal, and it's so painful. I hope someone can help me, I'm so grateful!

I totally understand how you feel, and it's okay to feel this way. Sometimes, finding a small, supportive group or a trusted friend to practice speaking with can help ease the fear of public speaking. Baby steps can lead to big changes.
It sounds like social anxiety is really affecting your daytoday life. Remember, not everyone is as focused on you as you think they might be. Try to focus on your breathing and take moments for yourself when you're feeling overwhelmed. It's important to be kind to yourself.
Your feelings are valid, and it's tough when you're constantly in your head. Maybe trying to engage in activities that bring you joy could help shift your focus. It's also worth considering talking to a professional who can offer strategies to cope with these thoughts and feelings.
I can see how much pressure you put on yourself, and it's exhausting. It's okay not to have everything figured out. Sometimes, setting smaller, more manageable goals can help reduce the feeling of being overwhelmed. Be gentle with yourself as you navigate these challenges.
I'm sorry you're going through this, but I admire your courage for sharing. It's important to remember that perfection is unattainable. Allowing yourself to make mistakes and learning from them can be incredibly liberating. You're doing your best, and that's enough.
