I hate not being able to do a presentation or something else. It draws attention to everybody the fact that I'm different and makes it even worse....

Thanks guys. :) I meant that the people who live with me don't understand me and often misunderstand me. I just wish they could see why I am the way I am. That's all. I just want them to get me. You know?

well, I live in a dorm at college. I've only explained it to my room mate. But I don't know how to tell the other people who live here. They all feel like strangers to me.

you can overcome it. You must first learn to accept that this is not an indefinite phobia that you "have". i suggest you research some meditation

Does anyone else have a phobia of talking? Like...how their mouth moves? How their voice sounds?

it seems that ever ... ( 1 week ago by BigBlock4Door)

it seems that ever since i was a child, i've met every a-hole, sob, MFer, etc. that was anywhere around me. i was made fun of alot, but in middle school i started kicking the sh-- outta the obnoxious dumba--e-. i haven't been in a fight in a long time but i still run into aholes on a regular basis. until recently, i wouldn't talk to people much...i'd avoid conversation with anyone but my close friends and family. i've never been in a relationship......

i was recently put ... ( 1 week ago by BigBlock4Door)

i was recently put on 2 kinds of antidepressants and had counseling because of a nervous breakdown, which pretty much changed me....some ways good....lots of ways bad. the antidepressants did help me to be more social for some reason...i talk to people more...even strangers and sometimes i can act normal around women. social anxiety has pretty much ruined my life until recently...maybe i'll start dating soon...being single sucks.

Anyone else feel ... ( 1 week ago by brad111515)

Anyone else feel that anxiety is linked to food? I usually eat huge meals so i could eat less often but usually after big meals (especially high in sugar) i would perceive myself to have much stronger level of social anxiety.

All of the ... ( 1 week ago by BlackoutDOTcom)

All of the diagnoses are a load of BS - they are NOT real sickness - just extremely poor and reenforeced habituation that leads to life issues. MEDS are NOT the answer.

Thats because you dont have the disorders...people with disorders know what they feel makes no sence they just cant help it.

Not true. I DID ... ( 1 week ago by BlackoutDOTcom)

Not true. I DID have this, and I stupidly listened to doctors and went on Xanax for years and I wont even get into the spiraling nightmare THAT caused. Drugs only mask the real issues - and by saying 'you can't help it' you only disable and make yourself worse. You can say 'I don't know how to help it, it seems like I have no control' which is far different from saying you have none. Behavioral therapy does work - STAY AWAY from the meds.

I thinking of taking medication for SA, does anyone know if they really work?

I over came SA, ... ( 5 days ago by crudemood)

I over came SA, just knowing that it can't physically hurt you. I was super afraid to talk to people because I thought they would hate me for it. I just did it one day and gradually built upon being able to make eye contact and properly form sentences in my head. Its about faking confidence. =)

Social anxiety affects the very young, middle aged and very old, the 15-30 age group have a free ride, delusions of grandeur.

marijuana/hashish doesn`t help..maybe in the beggining but believe me overall it makes it worse...
