    Hard to put my finger on what exactly is wrong with me

    I don't know what the root cause of my problems, or the dominant disorder is. I think I have several things in varying degrees, that may all be related to each other in a cause and effect-manner: - avoidant personality disorder - mild social anxiety - eating disorder (binge-eating) - sleeping...

    Having to tell people your lack of progress

    I've been trapped in a depression of procrastination, social anxiety, avoidant personality disorder, sleep-disorders etc. sitting at home, and basically doing nothing day in day out. I blame a lot of this on my lack of having "structure" in my life, which I obviously need. No job, no classes...

    Judgemental people

    I recently had a housewarming, where about 7 people came by to apply for a room and we (me and me other roommates) had to pick one. As it is quite a large group of people I live with, you notice there's a lot of group dynamics going on, and people are playing the popular game a lot. I generally...

    Overcoming Social Anxiety by Dr. Thomas A. Richards

    Has anyone tried these audio sessions? I have been listening to them for about 2 weeks and I already notice a transition in my thinking to become more rational and at ease in my mind. I find the points he makes are very empowering and the talking is also very calming. You slowly reprogram...

    Conversations are a mystery to me

    During social activities with a lot of people, often I don't know what people are laughing and talking about, how they got into a certain topic and how to tap into the conversation. Where do they start? Why does it flow so well? Often my head starts to buzz during crowded meetings in bars, etc...

    Anyone else sick of the news?

    I personally am sick of watching the news telling me how bad the economy is, that the EU is in a crisis, how much debt there is, that there are wars and civil unrest everywhere. It's not that I don't care, but most of these things are matters that man has inflicted upon himself, and I think...

    People being condescending to you (in a friendly manner)

    A lot of people handle people with social anxiety differently I've noticed. Some try to avoid you, some try to waltz over you or confront you, but does anyone else sometimes feel like you're being treated like an idiot by people? It's like certain people act nice but ingenuine around me, a bit...
