Anyone else feel different around each person in their life?

Not sure if I have the disorder or not, (I think I do), but, I have this thing where certain people I know, be it friends, my boss, whoever...I think I know how each of them see me, and it's completely different than everyone else.

Like...for example, my boss I think he sees me as kind of a moron, but that's because everytime I'm around him I'm just....quieter than normal, almost a friggin' ditz, can't do anything right, asking stupid questions and attempting to make lame jokes to be my otherwise normal, funny self...

...then when I'm at home with my girlfriend, it's just me, and I'm awesome. I don't get it. It's like I slip into different "characters" depending on who I'm around and it's not like I have different personalities....I just ACT different. And I hate it. Around some people I feel like my normal, decently intelligent self. Others, I'm a friggin mess of bumbling, shy stupidity. I wish I could just be myself!

Maybe it's just all in my head....but yeah anyway I'm new here and, uh....would any of this fall into the category of SA?
:?

This sounds like SA, Whenever i am out side my house with people who are not part of my family or any of my near friends, i sort of change into this almost completely silent person, not being able to think of anything to say exept short one word sentences, but when im with people i know very well i can function normally because i feel relaxed around them. This sounds like an SA problem, but i cant tell you whether you have SA or not as im not a proffesional

It's all about who you feel most comfortable with. With your girlfriend you are obviously comfortable so you can be yourself. It's the same with me, I feel different depending on the person.

Well, you know, it's pretty natural to react to different people in different ways, whether or not anyone has SA. Some people, the nice, friendly people immediately make us feel comfortable, others, the moody, unpleasant people, make us feel guarded. It's the same for everyone.

We relate to our parents differently to the way we relate to close friends, we'll talk to a small child in a totally different way than we would to an elderly person, but we'll also tailor our conversation to suit that particular small child or that particular elderly person. Every single person is an individual and social phobics empathise much more with that - which is exceptionally nice of us.

I feel it's young type people I have most problem with.

I could talk to a child, or someone 35/40+ with ease, maybe that's becuase I'm mature for my age or something?

But if I don't know someone my age (16) or a few years older, I will generally find it harder to talk to them. If people are normal and friendly then it makes it a lot easier.

The thing is with this world, there are a lot of C**nts (don't know about the language etc aloud on ehre). People who will try and bully you to make themselves look bigger, but there are also a lot of nice people. If you try to avoid the people who will judge you by your clohtes, looks, the way you act etc you'll find your SA goes away in time. I have done this, don't think I had SA but I used to be shy - I generally avoid the people who will put me down and just talk to people who I know are nice people and who are not judging you or slagging you off behind your back.

The people you hang around with will affect your SA in my opinion - a lot of people with SA feel the need to hang onto their freinds even if they walk all over them because they don't want to be friendless. I used to hang around with kids who thought they where gods own child, complete tosspots. Now I hang around with people I like, and people who like me and as a result I feel a lot less shy because these people view me as a normal person.

Anyway, sorry to have rambled on, and I don't even know if this post will help but I do tend to rant

i feel that, it's only a bad thing if lets say when your coning back from your work and feeling like you think your boss sees you, an you come back to your house with your girlfriend and you 2nd guess your "normal" self. thats when **** gets bad. thats when you start thinking more negatively about yourself and cant seem to snap back into reality and you forget who you normally are. NEVER let that happen.
