just post a word that associates with the word above. (eg. I post the word "sea" the next person will post the word "blue" and so on) I'll start... Tree

I don't know them at all, basically. Once a neighbour came to my house, and while she was speaking to my mum I heard her say "your oldest son, i haven't seen him." Yeah I like to be invisible, which is very atypical in my world.:rolleyes:

If you're wondering what i'm referring to it's the upcoming (rugby) tours of the UK by New Zealand, Australia and South Africa.

I thought it would be nice to start a thread so that we could explain what it is that is possibly bugging us, or making us feel a little down or very upset. So just state what it is that is making you feel depressed. For me at the moment it is my lack of a social life (or any life for that...

Well I pretty much have no life to speak of. I'm bored most of the time, and throughout my life I never had fun on my days off (weekends and holidays). I just spend my time at home watching tv. I never get exposed to anything enjoyable especially involving other people. No eating out, no movies...

that life/existence/conscience (whatever you wanna call it) rewards people who are outgoing, confident and secure? While it punishes people who are insecure, tentative and lack self confidence.::(: I mean one thing I have noticed is that people who are self assured usually seem to get things...

Just wondering how others perceive their shyness. So on a scale from 1 - 10, how would you rate yours. 1 being minimal and 10 being severe. For me most of my life it was a 10, however I think it may be at 7 now, since I am on meds. How about you?

If anyone is interested in playing a predictor game for the world cup, i set up a private league for all members of this site called "socialphobiaworldcup". Just go to FIFA.com and register. After that go to the world cup predictor and register to play the game. if you've done that you can msg...

Who my family asked for help, in order to obtain my medication without any hassles and to save us searching from clinic to clinic to find out whether or not they have it. I appreciate the help of course. But every time I see him he behaves in a bit of a rude fashion. He always tells me not to...

For me, it's 21:37. (+2 GMT)

Just wondering. I suppose we're people who appreciate the company of people more than those with a constant social life. We are more liable to feel lonely and thus when we seek friendship, we probably need it more than just desire it. As they say "a friend in need, is a friend indeed". What do...

Well for me I guess I would say 'yes' as it has disabled me from living a normal, productive life. But I guess their is a stigma around the word disability. I think that it is usually associated with conditions whereby others can physically see ones probable incapability. It's difficult to 'see'...

It's simple, just a poem(s) that you like... Shakespeare Sonn. 30 When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste: Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow, For...

Worrying is probably the only thing I'm good at. Even from a very early age I tended to worry about everything. It's really taken a toll on my life. Now that most of my anxiety is under control (with meds) I realise just how much of an effect being so nervous has on one. I guess I worry a lot...

Well for me living in this middle class suburb, pretty much detached from the rest of the big city, I don't form part of my Community. My father knows every person under the sun, but most people don't even know I exist. Heck, even most of my neighbours don't know who I am. Any events which...

List of places and/or activities I would really rather avoid. Family gatherings. (weddings, birthday parties) Public toilets. Any place which requires me standing in a queue. Usually the supermarket, bank etc. Elevators/lifts. And of course public speaking. Anyone have similar feelings...

Simple answer yes. I'm just too conscious of any type of flaw, real or imagined. Because of this and my shyness, I will probably be alone forever. : (

So what's the major difference? I think it is easier for me to communicate on a medium such as the internet, primarily due the fact that I am unseen and mostly anonymous. My normal insecurity about my 'presence' is not there anymore. Sometimes I'm still conscious of what I write and say, who...

For me it was peanut butter on a rice cake.:)
