    I have nothing to do that I enjoy.

    Kinda ranty, but this is something that really struck me yesterday. I have no hobbies or passions, and I generally don't really enjoy any activities. I had a midterm and two papers due last night, so those things understandably dominated the weekend and the beginning of this week. Because I'd...

    When is it okay to send someone a facebook friend request?

    Not a huge thing, but I've been thinking over this all afternoon. The story: I'm in this club at my college, but I am always pretty awkward at meetings. I am sort of friends with this one girl, though. Anyway, we walk out of the room where the meeting was and four people - her friends - are...

    Unrequited Feelings

    Feeling really crappy right now. I know that this person would never want to date me (for several reasons- differing sexual orientations, no attraction, person is already seeing somebody else). I see this person in my dreams, think about them all the time and just cannot get them out of my head...

    I don't care who reads this I just need to rant

    I'm in this stupid funk of feeling so absolutely, incredibly horrible about myself and I just can't get out of it. I'm at a university and overwhelmed with school work but also trying to apply for research jobs and summer jobs and I just don't have time for it all and it seems like everybody...

    I have a HUGE inferiority complex

    Hi there, I'm Mehh, and I've been coming on and off this site for the last couple of years. Anyway, I'm starting to understand that my SA and general anxiety seem to be rooted in a massive inferiority complex. I lack confidence in myself and don't think that my abilities/personality/looks...

    Going on a first date: how not to be awkward

    So, I was asked out for the first time, ever, today. I will be going on a date with this person later this week. Not sure what compelled me to say yes, seeing as I am very socially inept. I fear that the date will be a disaster; I am extremely shy and awkward, especially in one-on-one...

    Ever felt prone to violence?

    I bring this up in the wake of the Aurora, CO shootings and I think that this is an important issue. James Holmes, the theater shooter, was socially awkward and extremely introverted, probably having SP to some degree. The boys that committed the Columbine massacre were victims of bullying and...

    Constant state of loneliness

    The thing I hate most about having SA is the loneliness. Sometimes I feel different from other people on this website, because I actually want and crave human contact and human relationships. I don't want to be alone, and I hate being isolated for days without talking to another person. I...

    Online chat room anxiety?

    I wasn't sure where to post this- I figured that the shyness forum fit pretty well (I'm not very familiar with the site). Does anyone here ever feel socially anxious even in online situations, like when talking in online chat rooms? I've been feeling particularly lonely lately and have resorted...

    External locus of identity?

    Recently, a friend told me about what's called an external locus of identity. Having an external locus of identity means that one values oneself only as much as he/she is valued by others around them. This manifests itself in constantly seeking the approval of others. I've been thinking about...

    Anxiety Attacks

    I get these really messed up panic/anxiety attacks and I don't really know what's wrong with me. I think it's because I have no way of handling stress: either mental stress or emotional stress. I'll get them a lot when I'm overwhelmed by the amount of school work I have, and everything just...

    Poll: Is it honestly a good idea to stand up for yourself?

    I mean, I know everyone says standing up for yourself is the best and sometimes only way to get out of a bullying situation. But sometimes it's not even worth it, and the situation gets worse after we try to defend ourselves. I'm also kind of harassed a lot by these girls in school and I'm...
