    Do you go to church or pray? SA

    Well today I went to church with my mum for the first time in ages. At the end of it, the priest told us to touch each other..so strangers had to hug me and I had to hug them.. Now that is pretty awkward for a social phobic person. I was even too shy to pray to god. So what about you?

    what words or sayings really hurt you?

    For some reason, I really hate the words "It's not funny" when I just make a joke to cheer someone up while they are in a bad mood Today my boyfriend said it in chat and I didn't reply back in ages as in that time I was so upset. It's terrible how sensitive I can be when it's really no need..

    can't stand it when..

    when people cough all their germs around in public, burp, scratch around and stuff. Just human behaviors. I guess that's because I'm careful with the way I act in public. I try and be as smart, polite etc as possible. Anyone like this who have SA as well, or is it just me?
