How much does this really control your life?

Ok I'm a noob here & only found out about my SA & what it is a couple of months ago.

I'm now realising that it controlled so much more of my life than I ever previously admitted. Eg dropping out of uni the first time around because I couldn't handle the social aspect of classes, doing uni online this time around, leaving jobs because of awkward social experiences etc.

I guess I'm now confused as to how much it controls me now that I know about it. How much should it dictate my life experiences?

What are your experiences?

I'm an introvert. My life would surely be totally different if I was an extrovert. Though that doesn't mean that my life would be better. I wouldn't be the same person without my anxiety and low social energy. First step is to accept yourself for who you are, only then can you improve.

So, does my SA affect my life? Sure it does, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I am learning to live with it, because I don't think that I will ever be able to change who I am.

I guess there are a few things that I wonder about. Jobs would be one. Should I get a job that has little social interaction or something that may do but that im passionate in? (I'm not really asking anyone here just thinking in words I guess.)

I need some kind of social interaction or I get depressed, so I need friends & need to socialise.

& as far as hobbies go... well I like dancing, but I know I could never join a dance class, as much as i'd like to learn some moves.
