Just looking for some last minute motivation before I go out driving with my dad tomorrow. Sounds silly, but I'm anxious about everything...including driving. I've had my learner's permit since I turned 17, but have only driven 5, maybe 6 times since then. Yeah...can you believe that? I haven't...

Facebook has been a blessing and a curse for my obsessing tendencies. I'm definitely not proud! I'm 20 and have never been in a relationship. I have have few problems talking to guys, unless that guy is someone I like. And if they are, I avoid them like the plague, but stalk them online. And...

One of the hardest things for me is going to events in town where I will see people I went to high school with. I'm only in college, so it hasn't been that long ago. :P But, after grade 12...I basically lost touch with everyone (except 2 people) I once talked to. To see those people again...

I used to think that my lack of a boyfriend had to do with the fact that I was never sure if a guy really liked me. I always thought that if a guy made it clear that he was into me, I wouldn't feel nervous about making a move on him. Makes sense, right? Why would you be nervous when you know...

Why are you living right now? There's a huge range of ages here, which should make the answers more interesting. What do you want out of life? Sometimes I feel like I'm not living. I'm just wandering around doing what I'm supposed to be doing. I finished elementary school with average marks. I...

I'm curious to know if any of you have ever travelled by yourselves (or even with a friend) to a different place/country and lived there for a month or more. I've always wanted to travel to the UK and live there for awhile. But, I don't like doing things by myself (and I have no friends willing...

I have two good friends. One is like me...She has social anxiety. However, she has it much much worse than I do. At one point mine was quite bad, but I worked on it. Sites like these have helped me sooo much. I've grown and I'm no longer as anxious as I once was. My friend doesn't attempt to...

I have a few questions first of all... -How do you know if you're leading a guy on? -How do you know if a girl likes you? (I'm a girl...But I want the perspective of a guy!) -Would you be 'just friends' with a girl who told you she didn't want a relationship with you? Or ignore her completely...

I'm sure you've all made up a lie or two (or 150) to get out of an awkward situation/event. I know I have... ::(: I feel awful doing so, but sometimes I think it's best to avoid a stressful situation rather than going through with it and being worked up about it for weeks. Though, whenever I...

What are your temporary anxiety treatments? Things you do or tell yourself in order to get rid of your anxiety for a few minutes or a few hours until the anxiety inducing event is over... I have a major (and when I say major...I mean MAJOR) event tomorrow evening and I'm terrified! Just like...

I have a bad people of making people liking me. Not people I want to like me... A boy that I went to elementary school and high school with messaged me on Facebook. I spoke to him a bit in elementary school (I was the only one who was nice to him), but rarely in high school. I said hi to him...

Edit: Blah...I don't even care anymore. :P I hate that I'm scared of people. I hate that I feel inferior to people.

Is anyone else here like me and go through SA cycles? Summer is almost over and I'll be going back to school on Sept. 7th. I'm very excited. Why? Because I get to start over fresh. New classes, new people, new teachers, new homework...etc. I get super pumped up and set high expectations for...

I just finished watching the movie Cheaters, a movie based on the true story of the 94/95 academic decathlon and the team from Steinmetz High School who cheated in the state finals. They got ahold of the test questions, found out the answers and memorized them. They were accused and stuck with...

I feel like I'm slowly losing control of my life. High school was great now that I think about it. I'm in college now. I'm 19. An adult. But, I have no job...no license...no friends...crappy grades... Friends...I've lost contact with the people I used to hang out with in high school. I have two...

I have issues with shyness and generalized anxiety. I wouldn't consider myself socially anxious...But I definitely get anxiety when in certain social situations. I've never had a boyfriend, I find it hard getting close to people, when a hallway is very busy at school I start having panic...

I've seen various videos on youtube, but I'm curious if anyone here has some. I'd like to see them because I hope to make my own once I have the guts. ::p:

I was on a cruise for the past 7 days and on one of the stops my mom, brother and I went to get a ticket for an hour long walking tour of the little town. We went inside the building and as usual I was looking around at the pictures on the walls, the ceiling and the people in the room to avoid...

I think this has been suggested before...But I guess it can't hurt to be brought up again. :| I feel like my problem in helping myself is that I start too big. I should be doing tiny steps every day or every few days to get used to and be comfortable with social interaction. Rather, I attempt...

I have two good friends. Holly and Jane. I'm very close to Jane, but don't do a lot with her because she doesn't like to leave the house (like me, she has anxiety issues and I recently learned she is depressed as well). Holly and I went for a walk one day and I was talking about Jane for a few...
