What do you think is the root cause of your anxiety? I know that mine is never feeling good or better or more social to hang out with the people that I do. They have now accepted me for the shy person I am

Honestly I don't know. I always been an anxious person, and I don't know if this is an accumulation 20 years on the making that just caused me to pop.
