Just wondering whether your coworkers often socialize outside of work and try to pull you along with them? Do you like it when that happens? Does it scare you a tiny bit that every time they see you at work they might ask you out regularly? It kinda sucks that a coworker, who I'm not too close...

I hate keeping high expectations. I have another new coworker who thinks I'm overly social. (Not just social but overly social). I put up such a great act but I hate the fact that I have to live up to this expectation for being overly social all the time. Pretty soon the quiet real me would...

To be honest I kind of feel stressed out and down. I know how it feels to be uncomfortable and wanting to vomit and not throw up because of just feeling overly stressed out after a big social event. I just feel drained going to a staff meeting today even though it went fairly well and that I was...

I was just wondering, would being an only child make you more prone to develop social anxiety? I am an only child and I always wondered whether my anxiety would be as bad if I had another sibling. I know being an only child definitely helped made me develop into a very introvert individual. I...

Anyone find depression or just feeling down more of a concern to them than being socially anxious? Some people may have already been able to cope with SA or may already been fully recovered from it but may still feel extremely depressed in general.

Anyone scared to make friends because they are scared to loose their alone time? Maybe some people think that if you make a new friend you are obligated to constantly go out with them every week which causes you to loose your alone time. For us introverts it could be a bad thing. Can anyone relate.

I guess some of you guys might have already conquered social anxiety or very close to conquering it but still not necessarily happy with life (like me =P). Anyways, according to previous posts, social anxiety has become worse at times when we experience life stresses. Not only that, but not...

Any of you bullied as an adult even after the age of 20? I'm just curious because I assume that most people who's been bullied were mostly bullied in their adolescent or teen years.

Do people think of you as a goody good just because you have SA? It's kind of annoying how people just assume your some goody good just because you're quiet. I get comments sometimes like "oh I can't believe he swore" etc. It's kind of annoying. Any of you guys experience the same thing?

How does SA affect you in the workplace? I can picture some SAers being excellent employees because they are constantly working trying to avoid any socialization. But at the same time I can also picture some SAers being bad employees having a hard time with people skills etc. My social anxiety...

Do you often have people avoid talking to you without having known you or met you before? I have a couple of situations that happened to me. I was at a restaurant the other day and when the server asked for our order I usually get asked last. Also when I was at high school standing beside a...

Anyone feel a little down after a social event but was never ever made fun of? I sometimes feel that way. It's just emotionally draining.

Would negative depressing music affect your SA in a negative way. I love music and would never stop listening to a track just because it`s depressing. It doesn`t really affect my SA personally. How about you guys, does negative depressing music help you feel better or worse.

Anyone here a hardcore Christian :) I know I am well maybe not extreme but I devote myself to God. I just attended the 3 day Marion Conference this year and what a beautiful experience. Great speakers, great testimonials, great event altogether :)

I know it may seem like a weird question and all but would having a role model help out with SA. I know everyone wants to be exactly like their role model. So if your role model was very talkative outgoing would that also drive to you act very talkative and outgoing just like them.

Does twitching or your voice or appearance, or other factors affect your SA. One thing that really affects my SA is I have a really hard time elaborating or explaining things. I`m usually just a one liner at a time guy and when I explain things or elaborate on things or story tell everything...

Would you forgive bullies if you bumped into them years later and they were nice to you. I personally would. I would never forget what they have done but I`m willing to forgive. Getting even doesn`t solve problems in my book. That`s just my opinion though :)
