My social anxiety has been cranked up to 11 my entire family trip. I think all my cousins and my aunts and my uncles are noticing. I’m not trying to be rude but I think I may be coming off that way. I am very self conscious about it because I feel like I’m acting weird. a few hours ago I came back from the beach and hung out on my uncles patio. I was the only one at the house. A car drove up and a man got out. I silently started freaking out. I just froze and he asked for my aunt. I said she was at the beach He asked if anyone was home. I said no but I could maybe text someone to come. He then said maybe I could help him and something about some fish and if I had a fridge . And said “maybe you’d like some.” Or something. I’m sure he was very nice but I was majorly very scared. I managed to stammer out a “thank you and does it go in the fridge or freezer?” Before I grabbed the bag and walked in the house. I then texted my other aunt because I had my moms phone so I couldn’t text her and that particular aunt was the only number I had. Apparently the person was my aunts and uncles neighbor. But no joke the incident scared me shitless and with my social anxiety and my Aspergers the guy probably thought I was an asshole.

Does anyone know how to handle these types of situations? My social anxiety and my ability to communicate with people has just gotten so bad over the past 6 months.

That’s what my mom is saying too. She says “everyone is used to you not talking and stuff” I don’t really feel like going on my next family vacation at this point though. Which involves flying which I’ve never done. I’m not sure it’s a good idea with how badly I’ve felt this trip has gone. I have until May to make that decision though.
