The only person in real life that I can tell almost everything to is my own mother.
Except there's one topic I can't talk to her about, and that's dating and relationships. For that, I have friends on MSN that I can talk to.

Nah, no one not even really msn friends.. I think i usually stop talking to them cause i hate talking about my anxiety ALL the time i just wanna forget about it most of the time. Plus if i'm never gonna meet them i don't see a point really..?
I have other msn friends whom don't know about my anxiety that i talk to, that i've met but live in a dif state so i dont ever see them (wonder why i'm still friends with them? lol) All the people who live near me i've stopped talking to.

Same here. I can talk to my mom about most things, except I don't talk about SA related stuff, I doubt she'd understand. I don't talk to anyone about dating or relationships, because I don't date or have relationships.

Not so much. I don't really vent or open up much to begin with, so I don't have anyone in real life who I can completely open up to. But that's perfectly fine with me also. I guess the same goes to online relationships. Generally I don't mind allowing someone to open up to me in person or online, since I'm always willing to help.

I guess im pretty lucky, I can talk to my mum, my dad, my best friend and 2 other friends know the deal too...oh and ex boyfriend he knows me better than anyone in the world..
The problem with these people slightly though (im not complaining) is that they see me as confident, as im so relaxed and chatty with them...they don't realise how bad I am away from them. I actually only fully explained the situation to my dad the other day and he was really shocked as he sees me as really friendly and outgoing...he was really shocked that I had no uni friends and found it hard to speak to people. He just thought I was a bit shy on certain occasions!

I have one friend IRL but she's moving thousands of miles away next month. It doesn't matter that much because we only see each other maybe 3 times per year anyways. Mostly we talk on MSN.
I have opened up to my brother and sister in the past but IDK, it's uncomfortable for me, and they tell my parents what I say and I hate that.
I recently opened up to a co-worker via facebook but haven't talked to her IRL. I opened up because I knew she was going through similar things and I was considering taking a leave from work to go into partial hospitalization and wanted to know how things had gone when she had told people. It's still awkward though.
I am trying to do better at communicating with my husband. I'm writing letters to him because it's hard to just blurt this stuff out in conversation.

No, not really. I've never opened up to anyone, although it must be obvious to some extent. I'm really private and keep my feelings to myself most of the time.

I have my best mate. She's the one person who has always been there. I have found that most people in life seem to come and go. She has been constant and I thank her for that.
I can speak to my mum sometimes. I told her the other day about my social phobia and she told me she has the same too. Maybe its hereditory!!!

Mother, Grandfather, and one friend I've had since 10th grade.
I have uncles and cousins as well, but as far as people I can really rely on, those first three are about it, and sometimes even they can be a little unsympathetic.
It'd be nice to have a SA/SP friend in real life, anyone in here live in NC?

Nope. Absolutely no one knows this side of me.. I hide it well :/
But I'm not sure I would really have it any other way. It would suck having my parents and friends think I'm a weirdo.. and I'm sure thats what they would think if I ever let on about how bad my anxiety is.
