    Perfectionism

    Please excuse my complaining, I just need to vent. I feel like I have to do every little thing absolutely perfectly, you know? Especially when driving. I'm just learning how to drive. I have my permit, so when I go places with my parents, I'm the one driving. The moment that I make a mistake, I...

    Erasing evidence of being on this board

    Just wondering.. You know when you type a letter into the address bar and a little menu comes down with all the sites you've been on that start with that letter? Well, is there any way to delete a certain website that shows up? I clear this website from my history, but I'm paranoid that someone...

    Don't know how to act around people.

    It's funny...you'd think that it would be easy to "be yourself". Because it's just you....it should come naturally, and it shouldn't be something that you have to work at. But for people like us...why the f*ck is it so damn hard? I'm a bit upset right now. I'm so over this disorder. I want to be...

    Weekends.

    I miss enjoying the weekends. When I was in school, weekends would provide a nice relief from everyday life. But now that I have graduated and I don't have a job...I can't enjoy them anymore. I have no responsibilities, I just have endless time. But it's not fun when you're all by yourself.

    Has anyone found out you go on this forum?

    And confronted you about it? It hasn't happened to me, but everytime I come on here I get paranoid that someone will find the URL on this computer and confront me about it. My family knows about my social problems, but they don't know that it's actual social phobia. My computer has a virus, and...

    I am a pathetic human being.

    I just looove to sit around feeling sorry for myself. I am so afraid to live. I can't even let myself be happy. I am so self-destructive, and I know that I can change everything I hate about my life if I want to...but I don't do it. I am lazy. I am nothing but a coward. I feel like I don't even...

    The sound of people having fun...

    Does it ever make you sad? Sometimes when I hear my sister and her friends laughing in her room, or my neighbors having friends over and hanging out in their backyard, I can't help but feel a little depressed. It sounds great to have a life like that..

    Song I wrote

    Just called "Untitled." It's four years later, I'm still reading the same lines I'm getting older and tired of this state of mind Flowers grow, children learn....but I don't Seasons change, things move on...but I don't It's a cold day These shackles were built to last It's a cold night But...

    Can't function like a normal human being

    I can't speak without feeling awkward....even around my own family. What do you do when you start feeling uncomfortable with the only people that you can be comfortable around? I'm still not able to be fully comfortable and myself around my family even though we're very close. It's so...

    Success Story!

    Last Sunday, I had a picnic with my sisters, dad, dad's girlfriend, and dad's girlfriend's sons. I've met my dad's girlfriend once before, but it was my first time meeting her sons. They are all somewhat around my age, which scared me. I feel the most nervous around people who are in my age...

    Quote.

    "You will never get better until you stop feeling sorry for yourself." -Joyce Meyer Not something people want to hear, but it's true. I'm definitely guilty of wallowing in self-pity. It only makes you feel ten times worse than you did to begin with...and who needs that?? Next time you feel...

    Offended when people call you shy?

    Even though it is a fact and not an insult, I can't help but feel extremely offended when someone says that I am shy. Probably because I'm kind of ashamed of it and I don't want people to know about it. It has become like a gigantic insult...even though it is only the truth and I know it. It's...

    What is cognitive-behavioral therapy like?

    Could someone who has done it, or knows someone who has, please tell me what the therapy sessions are like? What happens during them? Did it really help you with social anxiety/phobia? Thanks.

    Enrolling in a Drama/Theatre class?

    I've heard people say that they got over shyness by joining a drama group. I kind of want to do this, but wanted to get your opinions on it first. I'm afraid that it will only cause more damage than good, you know? Because I just know that I will be so hard on myself and dwell on the multiple...

    I'm feeling really low today

    I just know that tonight is gonna be one of those crying nights...I've been wanting to cry but I've suppressed it. Tonight when everyone's asleep, I'm gonna turn off the light, lay down in bed, and just cry my eyes out. Maybe pray a little. Oh gosh, I can't wait for this part of my life to be...

    If Two People with SP Hung Out...

    Do you think they would feel more comfortable knowing that the other person wasn't judging them and felt exactly the same? I was just thinking it would be cool if a whole community of people with social phobia got together (in real life) and we could learn and grow together. :-) And become...

    My Symptoms - Do I Have Social Anxiety??

    Hey everyone, this is my first post on here. I'm not sure if what I have is social anxiety, because I don't experience extreme physical symptoms like most social anxiety sufferers do. But I do know that I have a severe problem. I just don't know what to call it. So I'm going to type out all of...
