hi, forum is probableys litered with these type of threads so il keep it as brief and informative as possible.
ive thought i was just very introverted for quite a while now, but reading AvPD i notice a number of similarities. one thing is for sure that i do have some kind of social phobia.
im 20 and currently at university studying computer science and psychology. i used to go out during secondary school (14-16) doing the whole drinking and drugs thing. but as from college i have not gone out at all.
i keep a very small circle of friends, 2-3 at home and even less at uni. which is strange as people usually increase their social network. in some situations i can be very extroverted, like if im working or have a task to do with a group im the type that takes charge and gets things done. but as soon as i have freetime i confide myself to my room. im sure id cope with solitary confinement easily lol
when people asked if id go out i get a sudden feeling of sort of overwhelment and possible chance of embarassment. i dont feel id be able to fit in and be stood there like a boring sod who people wish i wasnt there. this is strange because i have very good social skills, and make friends quite easily. i also dont have a problem with initiating conversation with strangers.
i have never danced or sung in my entire life, i dont think its in my personality, well right now anyways. i spend most of my time either on the computer, at the gym (my hobby is bodybuilding and cars/driving), lectures etc or shopping for food on my own.
i need to conqure this and start going out with people. i will be starting a new academic year in september living with totally different people and id like to resolve this issue before then.
basically i have some kind of blockade in my mind where i resist going out or making decisions which will cause me to stay with people. even though theres not many reasons for this.
theres probableys more but thats all i can think of right now. if anybodyies got any quesitions just ask.
thanks,
