Please help me find my constitution
25 year old male1. Describe your main suffering?
I have social anxiety disorder. I have hardly any self confidence in social settings. I worry about what other people think of me. I feel anxious whenever I am the center of attention. I have a very hard time talking to attractive women without feeling anxious. I can't do public speaking in front of people. I have a profession that is frowned upon by some and I always worry about being judged in that respect. I suppress my anger and my feelings in general. I try very hard to not let anyone know of my condition. I am way too competitive and feel like I have to win at everything. When I am put in these situations I experience sweating, blushing, shaking of the hands and legs, rapid heart rate, and a higher pitched voice.

Some acne scars
