    Self Sabotaging Job Opportunities.

    What kind of things cause you to be anxious in the workplace? perhaps I could help since I don't have any social anxiety in any other area except in eye contact. If you'd like to PM me instead if you want it to be personal that's ok too.

    Self Sabotaging Job Opportunities.

    Yes I think you made the right choice if you weren't going to be able to handle it right now. You should take your time until you are ready and if you're not ever ready, you tried your best. You're still working so that's something to be very proud of already. You're lucky as even if I want to...

    Don't worry though, skins. I didn't have a very good day out yesterday. I was always focusing on my eye contact which is the only problem I have and when there were lots of people on the bus, I was anxious! I was anxious bc I was trying to see if I looked up and made eye contact with...

    Self Sabotaging Job Opportunities.

    I'm so sorry you have so much anxiety. I, too, have social anxiety but I can control it in a way. Other times if I HAVE to do something and have no defense then I will feel bad and embarassed about it, but I think my anxiety has gotten to the point where I can manage it and even hide it usually...

    Positive spiritual thoughts

    when I look in the sky for example, just take a look at the sky one day, when I do, I feel it's so amazing: the white curly clouds and that beautiful blue sky, it has to be GOD! it has to be God's creation!

    Do people want to be friends with you?

    Yes people have always wanted to be friends with me but due to my anxiety I couldn't be and that's sad. I also regret about missed opportunities to be friends. The only thing we can do is not to make the same mistakes as before and to do our best. I still have some sort of eye contact difficulty...

    thoughts on your future

    I see.. I don't know if my eye contact difficulty is due to anything physical like me not having the right or enough of the right chemicals so I have to try harder. I was not brought up with very good nutrition though. It just was not that good, even bad nutrition for the developing brain. I...

    this can help a bit for those who have eye contact anxiety

    No, it's ok to ask! :) My problem with eye contact started around gr. 9. I was like you, no anxiety when I was a kid. Sorry to hear you're no longer friends but nice lesson to learn!

    hi everyone, What are your thoughts on your future. I was thinking about my future and now that I very recently got my eye contact to be quite a lot better, I thought my mom will retire soon so I don't want a 9-5 job and only get to spend the evening with her. I want to be able to spend valuable...

    How are you feeling?

    I went for my walk in the park on Friday, Saturday I went to the spa for a massage and Sunday I went out with family for a walk on the trails. It was fun and nice. Today the weather was bad so I couldn't go to my exercise group. So bored. Trying to enjoy myself. Tomorrow I'll be going for...
