[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 715642, member: 15032"] Cultura: My Difficult Child also has extreme social anxiety. I have seen him physically turn completely and alarming shade of red - neck, head etc. and panic in crowds or if someone unexpectedly talks to him. When he was younger he was even unable to order his food at a McDonalds. I don't really get it because I have anxiety in some situations only as most people do. My husband also has that anxiety. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Things that seem simple to us are NOT that way for people that have this anxiety. They are also very embarrassed by it and nobody and I mean nobody wants to be seen as [I]different[/I] especially in the teenage years! It could be compounded by him not wanting to approach his boss but not sure how to deal with his mom and you and/or disappoint you. This is a real thing. He does need compassion for this. It's really debilitating for these people. [/QUOTE]
