    Am I being too hard on myself?

    Today I was at Wendy's eating my meal when I looked up and noticed a cute girl looking me directly in the eye and smiling. She was in a van outside the window w/ the door open.

    Not knowing what to say...

    People who are "shy" often feel like they don't know what to say and that this is part of the reason why they don't talk much. However, is it really true that we don't know what to say most of the time or is it that our ability to know what to say is being blocked by our feelings, mindset, etc...

    What position do you sleep in?

    Strangely enough, I heard "shy" people tend to sleep on their sides in the fetal position. Also, that talkative and outgoing people sleep on their stomachs. Well I want to see, assuming most people here are "shy", if that could be true. However, don't let me telling you this influence your...

    I chickened out...

    I was planning on going to a party last night at my friends....however, once I found out there was going to be a good amount of people there, like over 25, I started to feel my nerves kick in. Also, I found out there would be people there from my high school who I never really talked to...

    How to get out of the social anxiety mindset?

    There's a party that I'm going to tonight and I'm a little nervous about it. I don't want to go and experience SA which could lead to me not talking much or to awkwardness......So when I go I don't want to be in that SA "mindset." Because when I have SA it's usually the mindset or mood I'm...

    What would you rate your social anxiety level on a scale 1-10?

    We all have SA to a certain extent, just on different levels. What would you rate your level of SA? Why did you pick this number? For example, maybe you said an 9 because you feel very nervous and anxious just by going into a public place, and not necessarily having to talk to anyone. Or if this...

    Is social anxiety based around fear?

    It seems to me that social anxiety is based around fear....would you agree? Having social anxiety myself, I realize I'm fearful about a lot of things. It's why, like in class, I don't speak up very much because I'm fearing what others will think of me....or I times I will avoid social situations...
