My 20 yr old boyfriend has suffered from social anxiety since middle school. He overcame much of his disorder when sent to a therapeutic boarding school for high school, but he still is uncomfortable in talking to those he isn’t very close to, and doesn’t like crowded social scenes. Is there anything I can do to help him? What are the do’s and don’ts of dealing with a close friend with S.A.D. ? Thank you!
I just want him to be happy and be able to hang out with me and my friends sometimes, because most of the time it’s just the two of us. Is it better to introduce him to one friend at a time slowly or should I just not bother? What are some things to keep in mind to keep his confidence up and anxiety low?
