I find myself angry at alot of people, mainly because I end up the one left out, wherever i go whoever i meet, and i know its simply because i don't talk enough. EVeryone else is just living their lives like we would if we COULD; do we have a right to be mad at them for not being understanding...

Is it the way we're brought up? Is it just in our brains? To me, people without SA are the odd ones, or the "different" ones; Are they just all more comfortable with themselves? Are they secure and us completely insecure? Or does outspoken mean even more insecure than us? How do they have better...

Im kinda stuck. My SA in itself hasnt even got me down recently, prob because i havent been in many situations where i meet new people which is when its worst, so ive kinda had some time off of it. My problem is, im feeling the effects of what its done to my social life. By my age, people have...

I just wondered, cause it actually really bothers me and its turned into quite an ugly trait., that I find myself really pleased when things to go to plan for people or go wrong. e.g breaking up of relationship, failure at a exam etc... Whats weird is that its with my FRIENDS. i mean youd think...

I dont know whether anyone will have been in the same situation, or if itsj ust me but i thought id share. I am at a point where I have absolutely had enough. People dont bother with me. whatsmore annoying is that if I ask them if they want to do something, they will pretend they do and then I...

I am feeling EXTREMELY frustrated recently. The thing is, my SA symptoms havent been as bad since I started College last September, Ive actually made a couple of friends that know about my problems - i finally managed to tell them after a lot of heartache wondering how i would go about it. Ive...

I diagnosed myself about 5 years ago. I cant remember exactly how, I must've just looked up the symptoms one day and realized i could relate to all that is associated with SA. I have a friend that I met in Sep when I started college. Basically i ive been up and down and had really bad downs...

I recently turned 20, and hate it. Maybe I would anyway even if my SA didnt exist, but I was dreading it when I knew it was approaching, and since my birthday ive just sunk right down. I think while as long i was still a teenger, I was thinking I still had time to makeup for what I havent done...

I have a problem, ill give you the main details so its more clear. Basically I started college in Sep and gradually made friends with two girls. As timewent on I started to feel the effects of SA really bad, and started to feel likethe "third wheel", "second best", you know what i mean. I was...

I have been thinking lately, since started getting soo frustrated with the way my life was going, and i have this picture of the way itshould be going. Im 19, by default should be going out, getting drunk, parties, friends, parties, friends..right? But because of my circumstances ive started to...

as no-one else is going to apologize to us for what we suffer, Im going to. Sometimes I read through these posts and threads and I think how its just not fair that we are all have to subject to posting our feelings on a website and how many have no-where else to go and all those people out...

So people without SA, who quite normally go out and do what they want,with who they want, and have friendships and relationships like a "normal" person are full of self-acceptance that they found within THEMSELVES? I dont think so. What i hate is people who have never experienced SA or feeling...

I have been invited out to a friends birthday get-together on saturday, and i dont know what to do about it. I havent been up to going out as much recently, but I havent seen her for ages and i havent talked to her for ages either, i kind of cut myself off a bit and the fact that she still...

Does anyone else ever feel that you wouldn't have half of the anxieties and issues if people didn't label you the quiet one etc. everywhere you went? I think for me, because of the way my SA is, that would actually maybe be the ultimate cure. I only get SA symptoms and feel it when i know...

because the people i tell arent the people who need to change or hear it. and the people who need to hear it dont want to know. so there is no answer or solution to this situation. becasue im never going to find anyone else who wnts to know. people say dont stop being yourself. so ive been...

I have been having a difficult time recently coming to terms with that I dont have any close friends. I mean I never had anyone THAT close or anyone i could fully be myself around but i had people i could talk to relatively comfortably. i don't see them friends i had anymore and very rarely talk...

Recently Ive been thinking that I just don't understand where I went wrong and what happened for things to turn out so crap, like everything that SA has resulted in, depression etc. I know some people have been quiet forever and have never known any different, which I dont know is better or...

I didnt know how to word the subject!, but yeah. Does anyone else feel much more comfortable around peoplethat they are not going to be a big part of your life, or not for long? For some reason, I am ok when talkign to people & where im gna be commuincating with people in like a one off...

Ok, so, the person im gonna referring to within this problem will remain anonymous, just fyi. Basically, i met this person over the internet in november 2005. At that time I knew i had social anxiety, but looking back i dont think it was having the bad effect then than it is now, and i think i...

Im not really sure how to describe them, and i dont know if anyone will know what im talking about but ill give it a go. I think i have a slight fear of rejection and being hurt because i have been in the past. The friends i have now are great, and im learning to trust again. But every now and...
