i seem to make friends with a lot of people who have social anxiety disorders, and as you probably know, people who have these kinds of problems can be very clingy.
this is because they are often unable to keep a steady relationship with people.
i dont wanna be another one of their former friends,
and even though i can barely stand being with people like this,
i don’t give up on them.

how can i learn to not get extremely annoyed when im with these people?
i mean like, i’m almost always available for them to talk to or ask for advice and stuff.
but it seems like they become way too dependent on me and when i’m not available to them, they get paranoid and think that i **** them.
which is totally not true!
it stresses me out so bad.
i just need a break but i don’t wanna let them down.

Think positive about them, notice only what is good and positive about them, and not that they have a disorder. Do not excuse their behaviour that you thing was wrong as a part of a disorder. Be a true friend to them, and a true friend is one who helps their friend over come fears and make their weaknesses their strengths. Try to not get annoyed by them or their behaviour. And if you are with them and it gets too much, leave, tell them you have to go and you will see them later, and get away from them, from the situation and look at it and see what was wrong and how you can change it and help them to avoid it. And if you just tired of them being so clingy, just take a day or two off from being with them. But remember to always be positive and think positive of them too.
Good luck

Try to research this problem to know how to deal with it, also see if there are any support groups for this problem (the paper, or the net).

I have friends like that too. I have also had significant others like that.
My advice is to not be an enabler. Be supportive and understanding but do not let them use you as a crutch. They’ll drag you down into their dark hole. Instead, make yourself available to them. If they get needy, just let them know that you have your own life and your own schedule.

Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc.) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc.
Medication like Antidepressants (SSRI – Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) helps to boost Serotonin level.
But there are natural ways to do it without medication. There’s this herb called “St John’s Wort” – it is said to be more effective than Prozac. No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John’s Wort works like prozac. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc.
If you’re unable to take St John’s Wort, you can substitute it with Siberian Ginseng or Licorice Herb.
The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced… you have that “learned behavior” in your mind. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior – Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction… There are several other techniques to help cope them!
