For me, I go into 8th grade on September 12th :( extremely nervous about this, especially considering my two best friends are leaving (pretty much the only people I feel comfortable with) and there will be many new people. And to top it off, we're having an overnight on the first week of school...

I don't know about anyone else, but I find that sexism and gender roles contributes a lot to my SA. At least where I am, guys & girls are "supposed" to do different things. The guys are supposed to be sex-obsessed, and the girls are supposed to be emotional. Also, talents - while girls can be...

I have a friend (she's 15 and very religious, although her religion seems to be one of her own) and she's very easy to talk to (if a bit irritating sometimes :lol:) and when I was describing my fears, she came up with something very unusual. She said that she thinks there are types of people in...

With social phobia it is kind of hard to be mean to people, but underneath that, would you consider yourself to be a nice person? I think that if I wasn't anxious all the time, I would be kind of nice, but not over the top. Maybe like ... 6/10 for niceness (those of you who play The Sims should...

Just for fun, I don't really know how accurate this will be Oh, and I'm going to make a prediction! Most of us will score High or Very High for Avoidant http://www.4degreez.com/misc/personality_disorder_test.mv my results: Paranoid: Low Schizoid: Low Schizotypal: Low Antisocial: Low...

This person who noticed that I was quiet and shy in school (back when we were in session) suggested to me today that I should join a marching band A marching band?!?!? Is he insane? Not only does that attract attention, but it also makes people judge you, too. Personally I think joining...

Is a classic part of having SA being used a lot? I only have mild SA, but one of my biggest fears is standing up for myself. I feel like if I do, people will get mad at me -- and that is exactly what I can't have. But because of this, I guess I come off as an overly-generous person, and people...

Sometimes people tell me that "not everyone will like me" or something like that... but is that really true? Am I crazy to think that if you keep quiet, carefully choose which people to interact with, and sort of "be a chameleon" around people (sorry for lack of better words), that you /could/...

I have found that a large part of the reason why I'm anxious in social situations is because I'm really not /good/ at anything. I'm bad at team sports, I mean I don't dislike them, they just scare the hell out of me cuz I'm bad at them, and it is a huge part of my worries - if people discover...

o_o; um maybe this would have been more useful to PM a mod?

I know I'm young, but everyone else in my class is all wrapped up in having boyfriends/girlfriends, and some of them are considered pervs, etc... I don't feel any of this, I guess I've never really had even a crush or anything - I just worry that people will say "wtf, you're not going out with...

First of all, I don't even know if I have SP, I think right now I'm too young to tell, but I have a question for everyone with it. Do you /have/ to live with everyone you know liking you? Or are you able to manage fine with people not liking you? Personally I have to have everybody I know be...
