I don't know about the rest of you who have never been intimate or had a sexual relationship with anyone, but I'm terrified of it. This sounds rather contradictory, because I always fantasize about it. I daydream about it during the day and think about it all the time at night before I go to...

I'm curious -- what do you guys think of acne? Does it keep you away from a girl, or do you just not care? This question is more for guys, but girls can give their opinions, too. As for my opinion on acne on a guy, I never really thought much about it. I guess I just get caught up in my own...

I'm under the impression that Chicago is the ABSOLUTE WORST place to be when you suffer from SAD. I swear, everyone here is just so Goddamn social it's annoying. I haven't found one person here who could possibly be like me. It's depressing. But I'll try one last time. If you live in Chicago...

I've been doing all right lately when it comes to SA. I've been getting involved on campus a lot more than I did last year, and that's causing me to talk to more people (still haven't gotten to where I've hung out with them more, but that might come up soon). SA doesn't seem to be as much of a...

All right, so last night, I had a mood swing. I know what the likely cause of it was, so it's nothing too serious, but basically what happened was that I was sitting in my apartment all alone. My roommate wasn't back from wherever she went to, and no one was online. I all of a sudden just got...

I hope you all enjoy it! =) "Phalange" Sid threw the covers off his thin form, letting out a sigh of frustration, and headed out of his bedroom. He made his way down the narrow hall until he reached the bathroom. Standing in the doorway, he felt along the darkened wall for the lightswitch and...

Do you spend time on how you look to others? I don't mean your body language or anything like that. I'm talking about your appearance, such as hair, skin, clothes, etc. Do you spend considerable amounts of time on it? I find that I spend more time on my appearance during the school year than I...

Do you find talking on the phone easy, or does it just cause you more grief? I find talking on the phone to be easier than talking in person, especially when it comes to business. Take today, for example. I called about private student loans, ordering textbooks, and even ordering a pizza. I...

Does anyone else here besides me have AIM? If you do, and you'd like to chat, my screen name is xsickxinxlovex. Oh, by the way, I have my AIM set up to where someone has to be on my buddy list to talk to me, so if you want to chat, just gimme the s/n and I'll add you. =)

Does anyone else here besides me just not like them? It seems as if, no matter how hard I try, I can never be comfortable around them or enjoy their company. If a kid says an innocent 'hello' to me, I'll wave a little, but I won't be all friendly/smiley like most people would be. I wouldn't...

Sooo. . . I recently finished reading What You Must Think of Me by Emily Ford. It's basically about Ford's struggles with SAD, and how she overcame it. However, she doesn't really go into too much detail about her struggles, and much of the book is, in a way, like a self-help book. I was...

Has anyone else ever tried out self-help books? I bought a self-help book titled The Shyness & Social Anxiety Workbook last summer, but never actually used it, because I didn't think I really had social anxiety at that time. For almost a year, it was sitting under my bed collecting dust. The...

Earlier, I wrote this Facebook note about some stuff that has really really really been getting to me lately. It all seemed to explode out of me when I got into a huge fight with my live-in cousin the other day. So here it is. I'm not even home for the first two weeks of summer break, and...

So I find myself to get angry quite a lot. Most of the time it starts out with a little annoyance and then proceeds into a rant where I'm constantly bitching and dropping the f-bomb a little more than is necessary. What weirds me out is that I get angry and make a huge deal over things that...

I know it's not true, but it seems as if I'm the only person in northern Illinois who has this social phobia problem. . . So if anyone on here is from that area, reply so I know I'm not alone.

So. I've had this problem since around middle school with chewing the skin off of my fingers, often to the point of bleeding. My therapist said it's an OCD reaction to my anxiety, which I'll believe, because I often find myself doing it when I'm nervous. I went to a hypnotist during my senior...

I can't seem to make up my mind. For a few months, I'm whining and bitching about how I can't seem to get a boyfriend because every guy I see that I start getting a little attracted to has a girlfriend, and every guy who likes me is so not my type. Then a friend from home tries to set me up...
