I usually don't greet my neighbours out of social anxiety, and later feel terribly guilty about it. I probably come across as very rude. Just a few minutes back, one of my neighbours was in the same elevator as me, and I kept on looking at the wall, not speaking a word. Another day, I rang my...

Hi, Sometimes, in fact a lot of times, when I am out in the public, and I am standing with my hands to my sides, I feel like my shoulders get hunched and shrink upwards, as they would if one is very anxious. But they happen to me even if I don't feel anxious as far as I can tell. But once it...

Have you watched this film? It struck an emotional chord with me because it showed how things which happen in your childhood can shape your future. After watching it I wished I could go back to portions of my life which I didn't like, but unlike Ashton Kutcher not just change them, but live them...

Has any one read "Stranger in paradise" by Isaac Asimov? It's a short science-fiction story by Isaac Asimov. Its ending is touching and beautiful, and at the same time sad, for us social-phobics (though it concerns autism, and the planet Mercury).

I tend to wear the most plain looking clothes, even stupid looking clothes, like a standard long shirt pulled out and trousers. I feel ashamed, anxious and shy to wear clothes that I have been said to look good in, like T-shirts, or one short shirt which I have which apparently has a "good...

Hi, Do you have trouble learning to drive/driving because of social consciousness? Sometimes I can barely even walk because of my social consciousness. For example, sometimes my posture becomes stiff as I am too conscious to even look left or right. When I look back on it, there have been...

Share if you are. I used to be a lot. Which made me pass over a lot of things and stay at home. Now it makes me regret missing out on them. Though now I can manage to be a fairly more comfortable.
