Do you feel like social anxiety messed up your life?

Would you change your whole personality and the things that you actually enjoy (like your favorite music, sense of humour, etc) in order to be able to make that girl that you really like (or boy) laugh and then kiss her (or him)?

Social anxiety fucked up a lot of aspects of my life. I do not have confidence enough to get a girlfriend, for instance.

I wouldn't change myself for anyone, i've made that mistake in the past and it's made no difference. So now you either take me as i am or leave me alone.

I do feel like social anxiety has messed up/ is messing up my life, I have huge opinions on everything that I love sharing but 1) nobody wants to talk seriously about opinions, life, science, philosophy and 2) if they did, well I wouldn't be able to. hah.

but I would not change myself for anybody's acceptance =O I'm happy with who I'm capable of becoming.

No, because you can only keep faking for so long.
I have a theory when you fake for a really long period of time you lose some
of your personality.

To be honest, I have always been divided on this issue. A part of my being wonders, would my life have gone better if I had been "normal"?
Yes, I would not have met any of the people I have now, I would not have the moral structure I have now, and I would most likely not have the intelligence I have now, but I would be in bliss.
However, the other half of me tells me that this path is a far better path than ignorant bliss. To truly understand and see the world and the truths of it is a far better life than living a blind lie. That to have such people to know, and to find such intelligence and open minded thought among them is a far greater blessing than any bliss the world has to offer.
I am still wondering which is best.

SA definitely destroyed my life. Now I'm paying the price big time on a daily basis. Don't ever change your personality for anyone, unless it's a positive change of course. Doing so will only make you feel worse in your skin than you already do. I speak from experience. Only your self can save yourself.

Well, life would be certainly easier if I didn't have SA, but I don't think I would want to change my personality. I'm more or less a decent person. The only think I'd like to change is the anxiety, worried thoughts, and fear...

like others mentioned, these days, i am more unaccepting of myself than others are of me. it's that "third person" constantly nagging at me in my head that drags me down. i'd change in a heartbeat - for myself - and in turn, i'd most likely be much less socially avoidant.

It depends. I would love to change and better myself for someone who would love me for the best of me and despite the rest of me. But if someone would only like me if I was skilled, powerful, rich... etc. Then, no.

Definitely. I would be so much happier if I had friends, didn't dread going to school everyday, had confidence, etc.
