University can be difficult for someone with social anxiety. Some of these are based off the experiences of people I asked on the social anxiety support forum.

1) There’s that struggle when you walk from class to class.



2) And the constant fear of failing or being dumber than everyone else.

3) Being put into groups is stressful.





4) It’s unfair being made to do presentations when you have social anxiety.





5) And yet with all these forced social situations, you feel…disconnected.



I hope you guys enjoyed my comic and my very advanced artistic skills (kidding). Huge kudos to socialanxietycomics and Claire Jarvis’s infinitenap comics for my inspiration.

This post will (hopefully) mark the first post I will make as part of the blog for mental health project:

I pledge my commitment to the Blog for Mental Health 2014 Project. I will blog about mental health topics not only for myself, but for others. By displaying this badge, I show my pride, dedication, and acceptance for mental health. I use this to promote mental health education in the struggle to erase stigma.

If you’d like to see what’s it about, check it out this post on A Canvas of the Minds.

What other troubling situations do you get at university? Any stories you’d like to share? Feel free to comment or send an email at graduatefromsocialanxiety@gmail.com.

Until next time,
