If I have social anxiety, and I smoke weed for the first time, will it worsen afterwards?

Question

Do you think my social anxiety will get worse for whatever reason?

Answer 1

You know that more than 60% people who tray drugs (pot, weed not important) early or late become addicts. of course you can say - Oh, it`s not about me and blah-blah...

But I think you have to think about it and tray found how decide yours problem without weed or drink...  

Answer 2

During the duration of the effects, it very well could happen.

With one use I doubt it would continue after.

I do know that with continued use (everyday for 3+ years) it has made some people's worse.

Answer 3

I have social anxiety and have smoked a lot of weed in my time. In general it can have a calming effect and provide temporary relief from anxieties but it's not really a good idea. When u smoke weed, any underlying anxieties, worries, stresses or psychosocial condition will become worsened which can lead to bigger problems. If your talking about Social Anxiety Disorder and not just being a bit quiet the best thing to do is to get a good CBT therapist, read ''overcoming shyness and social anxiety'' by gillian butler and stay away from any shrink who wants to pump you full of xanax or Valium etc. Medication can ONLY treat symptoms and often leads to dependence and other problems. The cure is in assessing your core beliefs and underlying self assumptions. (if your actually bothered  by the condition and want help).
