I have always had anxiety

[Drunkensmurf]

Ever since my child hood. I have anxiety being in front of people. My sister and other family members dont have this same problem. It makes me just stay at home.  I can make myself go out for work events and family events, but I am always self conscious. Any ideas would be very appreciated. I have tried many ways to deal with this.  alcohol and pot seem to work the best (which I cant smoke because of my job, sucks for me). I'm ok with medicine. But just seeing what  you guys think.
