I'm a Silent Sally, Silent Susie. Whatever you wanna call it. Sometimes I'm okay with it, sometimes I'm not. Sometimes I wish I could just naturally start a conversation. Sometimes all I can do is be a silent missile and hope that I'm not making the other person in the room uncomfortable. I...

Well, after just breaking things off with this guy I was seeing, I realized how lonely I am. I don't have friends that I can rely on, the only friends I have, at least that haven't moved away to college, are the friends who will only hang out when a party is going on or when they need something...

I'm driving myself crazy over this guy. I just need somewhere to post my feelings because I thought I was doing okay when I just burst into tears while I was cleaning my room. This guy and I were seeing each other for just about a month, maybe a little bit more. I know, it's such a short amount...

Well, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this or the right place to be, but I just need to get this out and see if anyone feels the same way. Everyday goes by like nothing happened, everyday I wake up thinking..."oh great, another day to get through." I want to have meaning in my...

Maybe the majority of you guys out there are SMART and simply avoid social gatherings. I don't know but, when I'm with my good friends I feel more at ease when going to parties. Anyway, earlier this summer I did something very, very stupid. I am writing this as a warning so no other girls commit...

I wish I had even a minuscule amount of social skills. Here I am sitting on my computer in my room INSTEAD of being downstairs where the rest of my family is. :) great right?? Ugh, but seriously I wish I could think of something to talk about rather than pretend I'm doing stuff or find something...

Sometimes I wonder what I'm supposed to be doing in my life. It's incredible how amazing music makes me feel. It makes me feel completely carefree and alive. I wish I had the courage and confidence to show people how much it means to me. I wonder why singing makes me feel so good. Am I supposed...

Just reflecting on my summer and progress that I've made... Well, my summer is coming to an end now and I just wanted to reflect on how it's been. I've had a great summer being around all of my closest friends. Sadly, two of them have to go back to college and of course I am sad about that...

So guys, I'm sure we all have at least one. This is just to post what you do when you need to feel something more than the "real world." For me, it's singing. I can sing for hours at a time. My favorite thing in the world is being home alone so that I can belt out all of my favorite songs/make...

Is it safe to say that most of us lack a great deal of confidence which hinders any way of feeling happiness? I think that confidence leads to happiness, but I don't how to be confident and feel good about myself if I always feel like such a failure.

Hello, I just want some opinions or advice about this question. Well, I haven't gone to the gym in quite some time because I really dread the process of getting in. It's super easy but I always get horrible anxiety about it. Gym members like myself own a little plastic barcode that attaches to...

I must have some retarded social anxiety a.k.a coward syndrome. I can't just go out one night of my life without having any worries. I worry that I won't know anyone at a party and that I will be "that girl" that everyone stares at like who is she? Even though I have a friend to go to the party...

Hey guys, so i've been talking to my therapist about medication for quite some time, she really wants me to start taking it. I am just really hesitant about the fact that I need medication to help my problem. I think it's just me being stubborn and not accepting the fact that I do have a problem...

Hey guys, So, I'm just wondering what you guys are like in your own homes because for me, I think that your home should be the place where you feel the most comfortable, but for me its not entirely the case. I live with both my parents and my older brother (he's 5 years older...not such a big...

A quick journal........... I call myself a loser because whenever I try to make plans with someone they are already doing something else with other friends. I feel like they are this tight little cluster and I'm desperately trying to fit in, but it just won't happen. I feel like every time I ask...

If and when you guys go out with friends, how do you feel? For example, I was out with my friends the other night and throughout the night i kept thinking "man, why am i here? i'd feel better if i were by myself" a lot of people ended up coming to the house we were hanging out at, and it was a...

I never know whether to say hi or not to someone that I recognize in public. I usually remember most people that I meet because I haven't had all that many interactions with people throughout my life. So, if I ever see someone, I never know if I should call out their name, go up to them, or...

I'm 19 years old and I'm pretty sure I've had SA at least since elementary school. I haven't for sure been diagnosed with it but I've been seeing a therapist and she says that the stuff I tell her links me to social anxiety, but she hasn't told me for sure that I have it. Anyway, I wonder if I...

There are times when I want to go out and be social, say go to party and drink, but when I ask my friends to hang out, they are already with their other, closer friends. Everyone still has their own little clicks and we're in college now. I've never really felt a part of a group and ive always...

I'm not really sure where I'm going with this thread, but I'm just going to type and see where it takes me. Anyway, I tend to be really unsure of myself, and I feel like I make the worst first impressions and the more I try to fix them, the worse they become. I have a really hard time...
