    The boredom that comes with being Socially Anxious. How do you deal?

    Hey guys! I haven't been on here in like years! I decided I should come back to my roots and start posting again because I'm sort of stuck in a rut. I'm an 18 year old girl completing her last year of high school and I'm BORED! I just don't know what to do to keep myself entertained! I do like...

    I'm going to a party!! Oh no...

    I'm extremely nervous! One of my friends who's an exchange student invited me to her 3 person birthday party. I want to go, because she's a great person, but I hardly talk to the other 2 girls. The girl I talk to invited people that I talk to, but the other girls have totally different friends...

    Getting up on stage, being behind that camera!

    When I was younger, I loved to act. I was in all sorts of commecials and things until about the age of 12. Then, my stupid shyness/SA took over. I quit, but a few years ago I was thinking about getting back into it. It was fun and easy money and it would be fantastic to have some more money...

    Being Embarrassed

    Being embarrassed is the only thing setting me back from being "normal." I hope you know what I mean by normal...I'm far from being normal...but...well, you get the idea. I'm afraid to speak my mind in fear someone might think I'm stupid, I'm scared to eat at restaurants because I'd be...

    My mom talked to him because I was too shy to...

    My mom and I were at a garage getting the oil in her car checked, and the guy looking at the car was absolutely adorable! He must have been a few years older than me. As soon as we pulled into the garage we sort of had a 'staring contest' going on. I didn't really notice him until after we were...

    Dating...spending that much time with someone?!

    I feel like I could never have a boyfriend. I feel like I would be obligated to spend so much time with him and feel guilty if I don't. I really don't like having people in my space. It's rare when I invite friends over to my house, and inviting a boyfriend over just seems that much more...

    Today was a bad day...

    I don't think I've ever gone so red in my life. Terrrrible! I was in english class, and wearing my Queens of the Stone Age t-shirt. A really exuberant, loud guy came up to me when there was free time and everyone was talking. He started talking about the concert, and how he wished he went. My...

    Alcohol...good or bad?

    What are your experiences of drinking with SA? I've never had a serious drink in my life (sips of parents beer and glasses of wine don't count at as serious...) and it's kind of worrying me. I want to be able to loosen up at parties (not that I go to any...) and meet new people easier. Although...

    Strange 'brain shut down' in an awkward situation...

    I just got home from watching the movie Speed Racer with a friend. We got out of the theatre after the movie and were almost out the front doors when I bumped into a friend from school. It kind of surprised me, and I felt really embarassed and didn't know what to say. He's sort of awkward...

    How to explain why there was an awkward situation...?

    I was surprised when I bumped into a friend from school when I was out the other day. He was with a couple friends, and I had my friend with me. We said a few things to each other, and it was really awkward. I blushed, got really weird and I could tell I had that 'omg...this is awkward, please...

    Confidence from Alcohol

    I have kept many of the same friends since elementary school. I'm in high school now, grade 11. One friend however, the one I considered my 'best' friend, is becoming harder to understand. We would do everything together in elementary school (when I barely had SA)...I'd invite her to our cabin...

    Jobs for people with SA

    I'm 17 and it's about time I get a job...Part time of course! I don't want a normal job for a teen my age...like being a waitress, cashier or anything like that. I don't mind talking to strangers, but I hate being criticised and couldn't handle being yelled at for mistakes and things like...

    Public Speaking will be the death of me...

    I know many of you shy guys and gals out there feel the same way! I have to do a presentation in school tomorrow. That's bad enough, but it becomes worse when the presentation is in FRENCH. Which I'm terrible at speaking! I was wondering what everyone else does to 'relieve' their anxiety before...

    Jane Doe

    So here's the story: I was sitting in English class minding my own business (as always) with a couple of friends and a guy comes up to us (we'll call him Tom). Tom chats with one of my friends (I don't normally talk to him unless I have to) about some random thing. He then asks me, 'Hey, how was...

    For those of you who...

    ...have succeeded in relationships. I need some help :) My SA is getting much much better, but I still clam up around guys and get the gorgeous tomato red face. In particular the ones I find to be attractive. I know many people here have had, or are in relationships so clearly it can happen...
