Hi everyone 
My name is Bianca and I just wanted to say that I think it is amazing that this website is available for people like yourselves to talk about how social anxiety/phobia influences your life; especially because it helps people like myself, who do not have social anxiety, gain a better understanding of what it means to be socially anxious. Your stories are inspiring and thought-provoking.
To help me find out more about social anxiety, I am currently conducting an online survey to find out how being socially anxious impacts upon online communication and internet use. This research is part of the requirements for my Honours degree in psychology under the supervision of Dr Lexine Stapinski, at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia.
I would really like to hear your opinions about online communication (such as Facebook, discussion forums, MSN, email, online gaming etc) and how it has affected your life.
If you are an Australian and 18 years or over, you are eligible to complete my online survey about your internet use, level of social confidence and how you feel about communicating online. However, if you are not living in Australia and/or 18 years of age or older, you are not eligible to participate in my study, but please, please feel free to post any thoughts in this thread; they will be most welcome
Participation is anonymous and confidential and the survey only takes about 30 minutes to complete.
When you have finished the survey you will have the opportunity to enter a $50 monthly prize draw!
Please click on the following link to participate in the study:

Also, it would be amazing if you could direct anyone you know who may be interested in doing my survey, to this site.
Thank you in advanced for your help, it is greatly appreciated!
