The general perception of me is that I am a good, moral person...and, as much as I'd like to believe that, I don't know that I live up to my reputation. I am always afraid that I will do something wrong, and the image of me will be shattered. Not only that, but I have an extreme sense of guilt...

The library I work for is doing some reorganizing, and I worry that I may be relocated...not to mention I am afraid of doing something wrong in my new position and getting in trouble. However, I look at other people in the same position who seem...less competent than I...and also appear to be...

I have noticed I get drained pretty easily. Usually in the morning, I'm all gung-ho, but by afternoon, I want to just sit and not get up... My lack of energy has greatly affected my life, since I have been avoiding things that require energy. Procrastinating makes me even more anxious. I have...

So...along with SA, I tend to avoid doing things due to anxiety, even though sometimes these actions do not require socializing. I am constantly making lists, and always feel like I have a ton to do. Well, yesterday I made a list of 17 things to do (some required phone calls/text...

Do you intentionally focus on minor details when you are anxious? I find myself fistracted by ridiculous stuff. . .like my hair. . .or something stupid. . .when I am avoiding more serious issues.

I do. I cry very easily (granted, I watch/read things that are intended to elicit an emotional response...) I even tear up sometimes just because I am uncomfortable (like making extended eye contact) even if I am not particularly sad. I have a friend who also has social anxiety and she was on...

So, I recently got promoted at one of my jobs and I am pretty excited...except...I kind of violated a policy (I checked my email from home). The day after doing so, it was made clear that we are not to do so. Apparently, it could even end up costing my employer a considerable amount of money...

I often feel that I am a link between two people...sometimes this is good, sometimes bad. I find that I am friends with several people (who do not know each other) with similar interests. I like this, and enjoy that I could (hypothetically) introduce them, and they'd probably get along, given...

I am currently in a situation which I cannot resolve completely on my own...nor do I think it will be a quick fix when it is finally dealt with (not to mention, I need to contact people who most likely would not be able to respond until tomorrow, if not later). Until this is resolved, I will be...

I am graduating from college (finally). There was a ceremony for my department last night, and the big university graduation is tomorrow. Throughout my college career, I have been aware of connections between other people, and my lack thereof. Last night, this was highlighted for me, since I saw...

I recently watched a video clip of a waitress who was given a bunch of great tips-$1,000, a trip to Hawaii, a car... The reason people were so willing to do this for her was because she overcame an eating disorder and used yoga as part of her recovery, and opened her own yoga studio to help...

I am very uncomfortable with people saying my name, unless they are attempting to get my attention, or introducing me to someone. I know people do this for emphasis sometimes, but I always feel like I am being criticized when my name is said for some reason. I also don't like saying other...

So...yesterday was my birthday...with the exception of realizing I made a mistake at work, it was a good day. I decided that evening that I need to try to be more calm and focus on the here-and-now, as opposed to worrying about everything so much, as I feel the distraction of the worry tends to...

I recently made a mistake at work (a dumb mistake, at that...it never should have been an issue). Had I realized it days ago, I would have corrected the situation. However, I did not, and my boss got a call from her boss (while we were in a meeting) asking her about it. The boss's boss does not...

Recent events have caused me to be extremely anxious, and it occurred to me that I feel somewhat drugged when I am overwhelmed by anxiety. I have trouble concentrating and become light-headed. I was on Klonopin for anxiety and stopped taking it because I had a similar reaction to it. Does anyone...

I am currently in a class about aging, and am supposed to interview older people for a project. Interviewing/finding people to interview would be hard enough, but the fact that I have to talk older people about how aging has affected them makes it that much worse--it seems like an uncomfortable...

So, I am working in the field I would like a career in. Thus far, I am an entry-level employee, but at least I have my foot in the door, and I hope to advance after I finish school. I have not told anyone at this job that I want to continue there as a career because I feel like I have no idea...

I try to hold stuff in...and then it comes out in a burst. I tend to blame myself and freak out saying that I want to die (I don't--I'm not even remotely suicidal). I just get so overwhelmed and frustrated. Typically, it only happens when I'm alone, but I have had this happen in front of my...

Over the years, I have identified other people as having certain types of personalities, mostly tied into their interests and styles. I have come to realize that I can find things (books, movies, clothes, etc.) that would match others. I have even gone clothes shopping for myself and thought...
