Bye everyone. I wish you all the best! :D

I’m not sure if anyone else has tried the “Biff” method, but I figured it was worth a few minutes of my time. I’m so tired of being sick and tired of worrying about this. Nothing has really changed for me in all the years of analyzing myself to death, but never really putting anything into...

Does anyone here just suffer from plain old SA? I would guess that there are probably a lot of people with other ailments mixed in. I suffer from SA, depression, GAD and OCD. Sometimes they all seem intertwined. SA and OCD are my primary disorders. I wonder,sometimes, if they are related or...

Here I am sitting in my office pondering life. My co-workers just got back from lunch at the restaurant across the street. I ate my lunch at my desk and continued working. I don't get invited and it's obvious they go out of their way to exclude me. I guess, because I am quiet, they feel that I...

I just had another road rage incident on the way home from work. I don't look for these things to happen, they just do. I just can't seem to let things go like "normal" people. Because of my low self esteem, I need to get even or get my own back with the other person. This anger comes on very...

I’m sorry for the length of this post, I will try to make it as short as possible. I’ve noticed that there are a lot of posts lately by people who cannot go on or are frustrated to the point that they have given up. I was exactly that way 2 months ago. I was missing a lot of work and simply...

What is your greatest fear? What really sends you into a full blown SA attack? Mine has to do with being in a classroom or a meeting with more than 5 people (who I may or may not know) and having the instructor or facilitator say the words “ lets go around the room and have everyone introduce...

There are many things I hate about SP, but one of my biggest regrets is that I have never been able to stand up for myself. I avoid confrontations at all costs and if I do get in a situation where I need to stand up for my rights, it never ends well. In an ideal world, people would treat each...

As a person with moderate to severe social anxiety, I generally find it very difficult to interact with others in a so-called “normal” way. For example, greeting people with a handshake, hug, a smile or any other friendly greeting. I am sure I am misunderstood by many, and I likely come across...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the group. My name is Tim and I'm from Ontario Canada. After reading the posts on this board, I get the feeling that the average age group is probably around 20-30. I am 44, so I hope I can relate to everyone here. I am probably one of the few people who can say they...
