...is something i just cannot do. It doesn't come naturally, every word i speak (when i actually do decide to say something) is artificial, rehearsed, and pathetic. I'd love to be able to just join in on the conversation, but it's like i lock up and can't say anything. Not to mention, being...

DELETED: Nevermind... thread was a flop, as usual.

That phrase (thread title) pretty much sums up my experience and ability to talk to girls my age. A place can be full of good looking girls and i just cannot make a move whatsoever ::(: It's like there's a invisible veil over me that instantly dismisses the thought of actually doing it before it...

I was watching Quest last night, at 9 a show called 'The Worlds Strangest UFO Stories' came on. I've seen some before, the show's a bit silly actually, it mocks the Alien/UFO phenomenon for a cheap laugh in some bits. But anyway.. the episode last night was about Alien Intervention in human...

I'm just at a loss for what's going to become of me if something doesn't change. I'm even starting to wonder if perhaps this is AvPD, because i rarely get anxiety symptoms while around people. I've just got into the habit of not getting out and mixing with people, classic avoidance behaviour i...

I know it's the way forward- you have to set yourself challenges, progressively bigger ones. I really want to go to MacDonalds and get a coffee tomorrow, maybe sit down inside. I'd like to even meet someone- i haven't seen my friends (well.. what friends i did have) in about a year of more :(...

My dad's asking me what wrong, what i really feel like, if it's really anxiety, etc.. I want to tell him what's the matter, but feel as if i simply can't get the words out my mouth, or i don't even know myself what's the matter with me. He asks me all sorts of serious questions, like what do...

List away.. :D

It's worrying how many of these i can relate too :rolleyes: Socially Awkward Pengiun

I keep having dreams, but in these dreams, everything is really amazing. I'm happy, life seems fun :eek: i have a girlfriend (always- in every dream) everything is perfect and how it's meant to be. It's kind of like my dreams are taking the pi$$. I wonder if it's the body's way of saying 'DO...

My lovely Fender Precision Bass :)

I think i just needed to vent after this experience. Today, after months of unemployment due to having no confidence to apply for many jobs. I was referred to a place that does a service that gets people back into work. I found myself in a small room with 3 staff and 3 other people in my...

I know they say that exposure therapy is supposed to work wonders, but for me it does nothing, it maybe even makes it worse. Every time i go somewhere with loads of people i get the usual string of events.. blushing, mixing up my words, getting all hot and bothered, acting (and probably looking)...

I have no idea how to post pictures, i attached a pic, is that right? ::p: Here's my minimalistic setup for my basses, this is mainly my musical area :D

I just wanna say that listening to Adam Young's music from Owl City made me feel a hell of a lot better :D Especially the song Fireflies ♥ I think i'm in love with his music, but not him, coz that would be.. erm, gay. That is all :D

I was wondering, because i've always though i had it mild, but for example, today when i was in a shopping centre, i feel horrible, like everyone is watching me, i can't walk alone i have to have someone i know near me, i don't know where to look, sometimes have to have my arms crossed, stare at...

I think it's definitely safe to say i don't get on with my dad, at all. From the moment he gets home from work, he can start a row within 2 minutes, no joke. He's always on at me to get a job, he thinks he understands SA, but he just says 'get over it'. And like today, when i found out i didn't...

Made the decision to get CBT. Family hates me. I hate me. Depressed as hell tonight. Got nothing to lose. So i might as well =] Anybody know how long the waiting list is? Is it on the NHS? What does CBT involve? How long it goes on for?

I just realised, when i was about 16-ish (i'm 18 now) i used to have reoccurring thoughts of things that could go wrong. I believed that because i merely 'thought' of the idea, that it WOULD happen, so i'd used to repeat to myself, 'that will never happen'. etc.. Also, recently i've developed a...

Does anyone else feel perfectly comfortable around their family, but in front of strangers, go back to 'normal'? With me i feel the worst around people my age (18-ish) Like i have to try and keep up.
