    Ever try EMDR?

    Well, I'm failing my college classes due to poor academic performance. *Attention Deficit Disorder totally sucks!* I lived in a college dorm and have made no friends whatsoever throughout all the years I've attended college. Moved out a few days ago because I couldn't bear the loneliness. Cried...

    Drinking...social comfort?

    There have been threads about drinking and social phobia before, I know, but I'm posting this because I'm feeling desperate for advice. Lately, I've been drinking a lot more because I desire to feel more comfortable in social settings. It's very effective, because I'm more extroverted, joke...

    Post what you cannot say

    What a fun idea! I could go on & on but I won't. *haha* Let's see here: "I'm sorry, but I'm not attracted to you and we cannot work out romantically. Please change your facebook relationship status to 'single' because we just met each other and we never did anything romantic together. That's...

    Growling stomach..ARGH!

    Have you guys ever had a growling stomach in a meeting, during class, or anywhere with several people around? And it's just loud and obvious? ::(: It rarely happens to me but each time I attend class, my stomach feels like it's going to growl at any moment. One time, my stomach growled loudly...

    24/7 Social Phobia

    "There's no place like home". Isn't home a place of total and complete comfort? A place to unwind from stress? I desperately long for a place like that. ::(: I've moved out for the first time, a few months ago, to attend a University. I'm living with three female room-mates. They're wonderful...

    Group interaction?

    Hi. I could use advice. Um... I feel like I've mastered one-on-one interaction. However, I struggle so much with groups. I don't know why but my anxiety is much stronger with groups, even if it's just 2 people. I'm quiet the entire time. Do you guys have any tips? :)

    College girl who doesn't party

    I've been feeling insecure about something lately, but maybe it's nothing to worry about? ::o: I've never attended a party, except only once or twice, but it's a huge part of the college culture. I never drink or do drugs. I live a healthy lifestyle by interacting with my small circle of...

    Make your SA less obvious?

    My question is: What do you do to make your SA look less obvious to other people? *I'm curious* Often times, I'm faced with uncomfortable situations & I don't want people to have false impressions of me. This is what I usually do: -Smile excessively -Nod as much as I can -Giggle a lot...

    I can't think of a title

    It's 2Am and I don't have a creative, attention attracting title in mind. *yawns* Anyway...just out of curiousity, have you guys developed any friendships/close friendships from this site? Any people you interact with here regularly? Met anyone in person before? I'd consider myself to be a...

    If this were a planet...

    If SocialPhobiaWorld were a real planet, and the citizens all had social phobia... would would this planet be like? Of course we might be frightened of each other & it may not be the most sociable planet in the galaxy, but what would the traditions/holidays be? Agriculture? Architecture...

    Ever dislike a quote?

    "Live every day as though it were your last." Does anyone else hate this quote? Anyone without a social phobia would either appreciate it or be indifferent to it. :mad: Rawr. It makes sense & I try to follow that quote by engaging myself with relaxing activities, but socially, it's futile...

    Co-Workers...

    Is it tough to connect with any of your co-workers? When I began working at my job, I was immediately welcomed & faced with social opportunities. Generally, when I'm faced with people, I place in my best effort to smile and be friendly! I also try to laugh a bit to show that I'm not so aloof...

    Anyone have ADD/ADHD?

    Yes. I've always had it. My entire life. However, I managed to overcome the majority of the challenges that I've endured. It's mostly manageable now. School was a tremendous struggle, work performance was a struggle too because I'd space out & co-workers would get mad. Infact, when I'd spend...

    Extreme Fear to Work?

    I currently have a job, at a Pizza place, and every single day I experience intense fear about making mistakes and having my co-workers & boss angry with me. I often feel timid around the customers but make an effort to smile & be as sociable as I can. I believe this is partially due to my...

    I skipped class today

    Our group was going to present today & it was too overwhelming for me. I nearly had a panic attack at home. My mom & I argued about e-mailing my professor about my problem, but I declined and said, "They can't know because it'd be too embaressing." Maybe that was a bit immature, but I'm fearful...

    How long do you guys think your SP will last?

    How long do you guys think your phobia will last for? A few days? Weeks? Years? Lifetime? For myself, ideally, possibly for a few years, but I believe I'll still have some that could last me a lifetime. :confused:

    Painful Class

    There's a particular class I'm taking, English, and this professor of mine strongly encourages participation. He expects you to ask several questions, show leadership skills, frequently engage in class discussions, and "argue" on people's statements. He'll basically grade you if you talk often...

    Family Gatherings. *EEK!*

    How are family gatherings for you guys? They've been a lifelong challenge for me. As much as I dearly love my family, I often experience a great amount of anxiety around them. They unconditionally love & accept me, yet I can't feel convinced of that because my fears cause me to become...

    Do you guys ever feel uncomfortable, hesitant, or even reluctant about posting a thread or message on this particular site for fear of getting judged/criticized? We all endure a similar challenge, yet, are fearful of each other for similar reasons? I frequently edit my threads/posts and...
