I think we all had these annoying situations where an uninformed people doesn’t know what they are talking about. Do you have any particular one that grinds your gears?

I lived for a long time with other students in a shared house we rented. Did not talk about my social anxiety much but it came up once or twice.
The comment I always got was “But you are not bad at socializing!”, so I guess a common misconception is that people with social anxiety might be bad at it. But that is separate from the issue. Might be that we have not gotten as much training due to avoiding social interaction. But if I’m with people like my roommates, that I have extensively gotten used to, I don’t feel the anxiety and it does not hinder me.
yeah. its one of these invisble issues. some people can mask their anxiety also super well on the costs of their mental well beeing. You can have high charisma and be fine in many situations and still struggle in others. im glad to hear you have a save space tho :)
I got my degree and moved now though, but I’m extremely thankful for my roommates. Also learned that I can find my calm as long as I get the time I need with others ^^ Important lesson for me.
