I feel like everyone with SA takes criticism so badly because we are all sensitive by nature. Being sensitive, of course, is a good thing. The world needs more sensitive people. But, when it gets in the way of day to day activities, it can be a bad thing. Anyway, I have come to the conclusion...

I've been called condescending two times in my life, once 3 years ago, once last year, and only recently did i start thinking i actually was. Once was just this acquaintance and the other was an actual psychiatrist but he had only seen me twice so not too sure what he's basing that off of...

Wanted to post on here about this song because, when it comes to social anxiety, I DON'T think we were "born this way" Don't buy into the message of this song b/c it's just simply not true. Anxiety is something you shouldn't accept. I do like the beat of the song, but just thought I'd throw...

I haven't posted on here in a very long time. I consider it progress only because I feel like I am doing more w/ my life where as before I was on the computer more to make myself feel better...VS. now, I am making myself feel better with skills I have learned. And I wish this for everyone on...

another thread entitled "shy men please answer" reminded me to start this thread... Ok I wont go into all the details (even though its really good ;) ..for real)...but this guy who i was like in love with who was in my class, i THOUGHT liked me. After what happened in there, it was really...

There are a lot of threads on here about blushing.. Which makes sense. A lot of people with SA blush. But i have to say even well-known and popular people blush. Some people think its cute. I think its all in your mind as to whether you let it affect you and get embarrassed by it. Well anyway...

SA is hard by itself But I get so tired of going out in public all the time SOLO... i know everyone does stuff by themselves eventually But it seems like every time i go out (alone) which is the norm, the rest of the world is coupled off or in groups of friends. When did that happen, and why...

Ok i have somewhat recovered from SA ... and i know there are some on this site who have as well And those of you who havent, it is so possible and hope is waiting on the otherside But to those who have/are recovering, I feel like , if youve ever read MacBeth, and remember the famous "out...

here's a pat benatar song: Get Nervous...Get Nervous I feel a little shaky, I can't control my nerves I know you think I'm FREAKIN', but can't you feel the curves? I swear to you THIS FEELING, it scares me half to death It gathers in my throat and it gathers up my breath Anxiety - Got me on...

I know theres another post going around here about this, but I couldnt find it so i figured i would start this one... cause something happened recently.... OK so I met up with this guy friend of mine (who i dont know that well) ... we wanted to hang out but both had to study so we went to this...

Ok........if youre a recovered girl, I just wanted to hear of some common profession choices with ppl of our personality type. Im in the middle of college, and thought i wanted to be a nurse but im trying to keep an open mind and not limit my oppurtunities..... its definitely different for...

OKKKK SO I have come to the conclusion Social Anxiety is totally different with Guys versus Girls!!!!! True I think so! But Share what yall think... I used to this SA was extreme shyness so I was like ok guys are shy, girls are shy... there can be both ... but yeah I think now it might be...

Ok my SA has gotten better... symptoms have, over time. This is just a question for those of you out there who have trouble communicating. Some ppl may consider me shy, but really I think I'm just a bad communicator. Anyone who's outgoing just seems like they can say stuff right off the top...

If you have Social anxiety, youve probably experienced some form of depression. Or you may simply be depressed. Whatever your situation, here's something to consider: Depression is anger without enthusiasm. It took me a while to realize this, but when I'm depressed it's usually cause I'm angry...

Who else with SA dislikes their voice??? I really don't think i have a *bad* voice, and i've definitely heard less appealing voices than mine ... like the nanny for instance :) But lately ive thought maybe thats where my SA stems from? But then I'm like how come people, like fran drescher...

I have already let myself think its ok that i havent had a bofriend in years.... I'm over not being like everyone else and not having a boyfriend. But this past semester, i had a class with a guy who could possibly be THE ONE...I know that sounds stupid. But everything he said in class, I...

I guess over the holidays you notice more about your family, I definitely have! Well I knew my parents had anxiety/depression tendencies. My mom is depressed but only comes out in stressful situations. My dad has anxiety tendencies, and i think part of my learned habbits come from that besides...

I feel like a BIG part of the problem is how im overly sensitive about everything. Whether it's situations, what people say to me, how people drive, I feel like and I know i overreact. OK example...im takin this swim class at my local junior college and i went out and got goggles for this...

I've gone through so many stages of overcoming SA/generalized anxiety...and even though during that time, I felt a little bit of depression, I never really pictured that once I recovered from anxiety, I would have depression and only depression. The good thing is that i HAVE overcome the...
