Does anyone here suffer from anxiety? I have been suffering from anxiety for a while. My current job is about to end and I am worried about my next place of work. Some how I find it really difficult to get along with large groups of people and I am worried about these kind of situations. My last job lasted eight years and I was in m own office so did not have much of a problem. I somehow always manage to annoy people as my shyness comes across as rudeness or not wanting to speak. Is there any advice on how I can overcome such situations or if you have experienced something similar?

@Angela150 I agree with Jabo. I try to give off the idea that I'm confident and friendly and it works. After people become accustomed to you and you've made friends and fit in a bit, you can begin to relax and be yourself. It's a learning curve and a way to grow within yourself. It's also how I manage my anxiety.

Yes I can get bossy too but usually its because I am panicking to get the task done!

I am shy to and when I was young people always thought I was being rude to but I just was to nervous to talk much. I still am very shy but I do not go out very often to have to worry about seeing anyone.

I have severe anxiety that has affected me being able to work but when I did i was the same. Working in a group made it worse because I wouldn't talk so i would be able to do my own thing and that worked. Is there any friends that could help you be able to work with them? Maybe working with a friend will help because you'll be fine talking to them and they would talk to other people so you can slowly start talking to other people with them

Smile more! A smile makes someone seem more friendly and warm.
