Im sure I have Social Anxiety Disorder. :/

So yeh. I'd thought it for a while.
Then I saw a thread and thought "That is exactly like me."
And just there I took 3 different online tests and they all say I do.

I know Self-Diagnosis isn't the best thing, and either are online tests.
But they kind of confirmed what I thought.
So, what should I do? Cause like I can't talk to my parents about something like that.
They'd tell me I was stupid and to stop worrying. :/

Why do you think you have it like what symptoms.

We have pupil support teachers. But basically all they do is phone your parents. :/
And symptoms I have are: (From reading symptoms on a website.)

Pyschological Symptoms:
Intense worry for days, weeks, or even months before an upcoming social situation.
Extreme fear of being watched or judged by others, especially people you don’t know.
Excessive self-consciousness and anxiety in everyday social situations.
Fear that you’ll act in ways that that will embarrass or humiliate yourself.
Fear that others will notice that you’re nervous.
Avoidance of social situations to a degree that limits your activities or disrupts your life.

Physical Symptoms:
Upset stomach, nausea
Dry mouth
Shaky Voice
Trembling or shaking
Muscle tension

I used to have most of th those symptoms, until I just thought. What the hell there are 7 billion people in the world were not all going to be the same. Then I didn't care what anybody said or thought, and so whenever you go somewhere your not scared to go or what to say because if you mess up, it's alright everyone does. Most of the symptoms deal with fear of being judged by others and so once I got over that fact it pretty much went away. Yeah I still get nervous when I'm going to a big event but it't not near as bad and it soon goes away.
If you wanna talk you can PM me anytime.

I would talk to a counselor. I'm not sure if they will tell your parents or not, but I'm sure that if you talk to your parents about what you have, they should be supportive of you. I really don't see why they wouldn't. I would just talk to a counselor. He/she should be able to tell you if you have anxiety disorder or not.

Talk to a counselor. That's how I found that I have social anxiety disorder.
