Why do a lot of women confuse the asshole characteristic in men with the confident characteristic they like so much? Why do they mistake jerkiness for confidence; is it that hard to distinguish between the two? This is a serious question. I seriously want to know, since I'm very capable of...

I think every person has unique problems which prevents them from establishing romantic relationships. I'm referring to those of us who have been single all their lives. I wouldn't say I'm ugly, but unfortunately I suffer from anxiety, especially performance anxiety. I often look very serious...

Hi all, I'm 32 and fear becoming lonely. I sometimes can't even stand having my parents in the same house, but at the same time the thought of them dying scares me so much..... It seems that nothing would make me happy. Marrying and having children would make my life a hell, because I need my...

I would say comparing the sex drive of a man to a woman, is like comparing the explosive force and energy of a nuclear war head to a firecracker. I wish I was a woman and didn't have to deal with this crap. Discuss.. :P

Other people's moods affect me deeply. I can't even stand my own mother, despite the fact that she is the most important person in my life. I'm very happy, calm and confident when I'm entirely alone. I'm so "introverted" that I could easily spend all my life in one room without feeling bored...

I'm constantly thinking, my thought pattern is scattered because it is fast. That also makes me jump from topic to topic when I speak and think, because the thoughts come and go so fast. I rapidly switch topics with no transition and confuse people. I can forget what I was saying shortly after...

I have a very reduced facial expression because of severe depression. I'm terrified when people see my face. What should I do, just ignore it? But my face is scary, I'm extremely extremely depressed and people would freak out... I freak out myself when looking in the mirror.....

I have finally found it :) I urge everyone to watch this video, it's awesome. Live through your heart instead of your mind/head. http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=84KKb85h-dw I don't know if this will work for performance anxiety though, which is my main problem.

I was wondering if any of you tried electroshock therapy (ECT) and what the results were? I'm seriously considering it, but I'm afraid of memory loss and how it would affect my performance at work (I'm looking for a job currently). I have tried everything else so it's a last resort.

I don't know if I'm really ugly, although my perception is that I am, but I have a much bigger problem. I'm continuously moving my head down, up, left and right VERY quickly when I'm interacting with people. I'm so nervous and anxious, it's inexplicable. I feel retarded when I do it and wish...

When I feel very depressed I have breathing difficulties. Is this normal for people with depression?

I have come to the conclusion that there are people who are happy when they spend most of their time in solitude. I'm definitely one of them, there is no denying. But is this a disorder? I feel absolutely happy when I don't have too much responsibilities and social interaction. If only I could...

I feel like everyone dislikes me and will always dislike me, since I always look gloomy, anxious and worried. But what can I do, this is my natural state.. We had guests today and I know they felt very uncomfortable because of me. I'm sick and tired of feeling guilty for making people nervous...

I always make people nervous and this makes me very anxious and lowers my self-esteem. How can I learn not to care about people getting nervous around me? I will always make people nervous, since I'm a freak, but why can't I just accept it and go on living? How can I let this destroy my life?

Sometimes I can block out negative thoughts for a couple of hours and feel better, but it's taking all my energy to do that. I can't concentrate on anything else when I'm busy blocking out these automatic negative thoughts. I can't hear what people say because I'm so busy neutralizing my...

I want to talk about my own social anxiety, but I think some of you will relate. Well, I always hide within my mind when I'm with people. I never feel a connection, I always look away, put my head down, turn my body away from people etc. People never feel comfortable around me, I can see and...

Since I'm almost certain that I won't find a partner, I'm afraid that I will become very lonely when my parents die. If they die, I will have nothing to live for. Anyone else feel the same?

Could somebody please explain to me in simple words what kind of disease this is?

Do you go to places alone when you're bored? Like wandering downtown, having a coffee etc.. For those who work, do you sometimes go somewhere in the evenings during weekdays, apart from your daily shopping?

Social Phobia Imagine going through your whole life constantly fearing others opinions of you, saying things just seek the approval of your peers and being scared to go out in public for fear people are scrutinising your every move. "I thought that was life. It was for me for years, but...
