Hopefully :lol: Loads of people my age have part-time jobs, and i'm starting to feel so pathetic and wasteful for not having one. I've attempted quite a few times now to go to some shops and ask, but I always chicken-out at the last minute and walk away :roll: I suppose I can't really...

I am meant to be going into college on Wednesday and Thursday for an induction-style thing and really do not want to go. They are saying it's an oppertunity to meet your teachers and fellow students, well I don't want to fucking meet any of them! :evil: I have to spend the next two years of...

Ooooh yes :) I went up to the local paper shop today (Dragging my sister along for "moral support" :P ) and applied for a paper round job. Sounds stupid, but it's a big deal for me, and it took me a good few days to build up the courage to go, but i'm really pleased that I did. My sister...

Would you ever have one? Do you reckon it would be easier than the traditional way for SA sufferers? My thinking is that, with an arranged marriage you don't really have to go through the whole courtship and dating thing. You just meet the person, and if you really don't like them, then you...

Well, do you? I find this a really annoying trait in people, especially ones I don't know well. What do you think? I don't think i'm that bad, In general day to day life I hardly talk about myself at all.

Is this a problem for anybody else? I don't neccesarily mean sexually, but just in general...even when it's simply recieving a hug or something. I have a major problem with anybody touching me. One of my friends is a touchy-feely type of person, and she just can't understand why I have to move...

Ok, so these might not sound like a lot to some of you, but to me, my anxiety being as bad as it is, they are pretty big things! :D Ok so my first triumph was replying to an ad, and therefore having speak on the phone, not once but twice, to a woman that I didn't know! I phoned her because I...

What do you think? Is it too low? Is it too high? Voice your opinions :wink:

Something i've noticed is that I tend to have high and low risk people...let me explain: A "high risk" person is somebody who I am likely to get embarrased talking to, and do something stupid. Someone with whom my anxiety is more present when i have to talk to them or interact with them, or...

I'm sorry, but I have to rant about this. I cannot get through one school day without doing atleast 10 stupid little things that make me seem like such a weirdo. It drives me insane! For example, today my teacher asks me if I understand all of the work and if there are any bits I don't get. I...

This maybe isn't to do so much with social anxiety, but here goes anyway.. Do you really notice the people around you? Do you really think about them, or just see them as another person? I mean, when I go into a shop and somebody serves me at the counter, I look at them while they work the...

well, would you? :? I have to fill in and send mine off soon, and there is a question that goes something like: are there any special circumstances you would like us to know about concerning your application?, and then another that asks wether you need any extra medical or educational support...

Hey :D I have been using Odaban for a few weeks now, and it's fairly good most of the time. I just ordered some Mitchum (sp?) roll-on anti-perspirant. It's meant to be the strongest "day" one you can get. Can anybody think of any problems that could come about by using the odaban and the...

Just ordered "Overcoming Social Anxiety: A Self-help Guide Using Cognitive Behavioural Techniques" am hoping that it will be interesting if not helpful. Has some good reveiws, and heard a lot of good stuff about it, so fingers crossed and lets see. Will post about it when i've got it and had a...

Heyy :) I am basically just wondering wether anybody with SA has managed to make it through university? how did you find it? what was hard? what was easy? I want to go to uni, but I am sooo scared it is unreal. :roll: The uni is only 40 mins away from my house but I freak out at the thought...
