A town made up of all SPW members, hmm not a bad idea :) With all the smart and the talented people on this site, I doubt we'd have any problems, except for attendance at town's meetings ::p:

But that isnt a bad idea! May be in some where in Norway or some isolated place in Himalayas where land is cheap! Some of us could start a commune.

Something like an half way center if its only to meet people and start talking again with feeling judged, those who feel better can leave and those who like it can stay!

Yikes, feeling pretty anxious now. Think it's going to be one of those days. Left the house and just have this overwhelming feeling that everyone is watching me. My allergies are really bad forcing me breathing to be shallow and my eyes are itchy. Bah, feel just like the little dude in my avatar now.

Ugh, tired.. boring day at work. I'll be better later on though :) Always am!

And hello everyone, hope you all have a nice day without as much anxiety as possible :D

Anxious about what tomorrow brings. Work will be tough, 8 hours of sitting and talking to people. Sounds so easy, but it is tough for an agoraphobiac (as we all know)!

Hmm, in a way your stressful job is both harmful (hence the 'stress) and beneficial. That's a lot of exposure to other humans who you probably won't meet again. When you feel up to it, it gives you a good chance to face your fears, or play with your habits around strangers (examples, eye contact, if you have a problem with that one, tone of voice, etc).
8 hours..ouch. takes some courage. Goodluck to you!

I am an Insurance Advisor, which means I have to chat on the phone, as well as talk amongst my colleagues and people in my room/building.

I certainly do not want to become the strange guy who no one really talks to and does not have a social life. I enjoy chatting to my colleagues and having banter, when I am feeling confident and happy within myself, but it is at those bad times when feeling anxious, I fear the moment someone asks me to do something or even walks past me.

I dont so much have to chat to 'strangers' face to face, as 95% of my work is completed over the phone/email etc. So I have built relationships with the people I do see at work, and I percieve them to percieve me as a nice guy. I would hate for that to change to a strange guy!

I have to break up my 8 hours (one hour for lunch) with toilet breaks/coffee breaks. I know I do this more than the average person (once every 45 minutes usually) and it peevs off my boss I am sure, but I try to make it as inconspicuous as possible.

Other than that, I enjoy what I am doing. My agoraphobia is a heavy weight on my ability at work at the moment.
