Hello Everyone. Does anyone have the same problem as me? I flit through life, trapped in a bubble of overthinking and anxiety. Trouble is, I can't remember anything people say, no matter how hard I try to focus and absorb, it's gone! Having done some research online, there's some great tools...

I find myself getting deeply attached to people, particuarly the opposite sex. I've recently gotten together with a very cute girl, she's quite shy herself. We have a 'friends with benefits' situation, but I keep thinking of her. She's not really interested in anything long term or beyond...

I wish I didn't have to be like this. People either say 'Love yourself,' 'man up 'move on' But I can't help it. I need the acceptance and love of others so bad. When people don't bother to reply I get angry, frustrated and sad. I take it so personally as I think if I was worth it, people...

Has anyone else experienced this sensation? It's nothing dirty nor crude, nor do I think it's love or lust. Instead it's this tingling, good feeling. You feel warm, slightly lightheaded and heavy... but in a postive way, and lasts for a few minutes. It very rarely occurs sadly! This happens...

I've put off driving lessons for years, but I finally thought, **** it let's give it a go. But every instructor I never seem to get on with. I find it hard to process information quickly, particular verbal. They talk and explain far too much., even when i say that I'm a slow learner. With the...

I had a driving lesson today... and the guy yammered on so much it gave me a headache. With my anxiety I couldn't focus By the time I had a go I didn't know what the **** I was doing. Clutch/Handbrake/Blindspot/Gears/Mirrors/Brake/Indicator it's all so much. I had to pull over and wind the...

Hey guys- does anyone know how to socialize with other guys? I get along with dorky, un-threatening guys (probably like me) and I can talk to women okay, but I find men very hard to talk to. Women are more emphatic and sensitive, whilst guys tend to be boisterous and I tend to be a target due...

I'm in a bit of a confusing situation. This is why I never have male friends! I spent the morning with an alright guy working in a temporary job letting people into an event. I pretended to be a bit geeky by gaining more sign-ins for him. He seemed to like me and we had a bit of banter. Later...

Hi has anyone worked with groups of children and know how to control them? I'm in charge with organizing games for about 25 or so kids. They are about 9-11 years old. It took me a long time to be brave in front of all them. To be honest the noise is so distracting I can barely maintain...

Hello fellow phobes :) (Is there a name for us? The anxys? SAers?) Anyway, after being out of school for 10 years, I've realized my brain, although keeping my alive and reminding me about negative things, isn't working like it used to. Years of anxiety, over-thinking about me, worrying and...

People think I'm quite rude for not remembering things that they've told me. It's probably due to my long term anxiety, not enough brain space for interesting stuff! We have a conversation their words go through one ear and out the other. I know, as humans, we can't possibly remember everything...

I have a really big problem. A really big heart. When I meet someone I really like, they take over my soul. I can't stop thinking about them. Check phone. Check FB. Anxiety. Tension. Sometimes I can't eat. And I love to eat!! Some people perceive this as desperate or clingy. But I have no...

I do. I am actually thinking what happens if I post this message? Will people think I'm crazy? But now I think I shouldn't put myself down like that? But now I'm thinking I should stop talking about myself you're getting bored? Sometimes I just think about myself and think about thinking...

Hey guys. I'm feeling melodramatic and weak right now. There is no smilie to reflect my feeling! Everytime I fall for a girl, this happens. The current lady, I have no idea where I stand with her... what we have is purely physical but I can't bring myself to ask her out... and I don't want to...

Hi there guys :D I wondered if anyone has the same problem as me? I developed my lovely social anxiety problems around about 18-21 years old, and ever since it's all I think about. Anxiety. Worry. Fear. It's like the template of my head. Everything is about the SA! But now SA is getting mean...

Hey people :) I've always had trouble with being needy and insecure towards women... this has stemmed from having an overly-close relationship with my mother, I was very dependent on her as I had no-one else, and would get scared, anxious and jealous about her being taken away etc. When I hit...

I have become attached to someone emotionally, and I don't know what to do! I met up with this nice lady, I opened up to her, she opened up to me. It was fantastic. She had her own issues as well, and out of the other women I have met in the past, this is the closest one that understood me. We...

I notice in people's conversations, people pluck out quotes, conversation topics, facts, funny incidents that have happened to them. They are like comedians with an endless barrage of material to talk about. "Did you see.." "Did you know that.." "The other day.." My mind is littered with...

Hi. I'm not sure if this is a social anxiety-related question or not. I just would really like some advice or to know if I'm not alone. I have a really bad memory. I find it hard to focus on anything, my mind gets sidetracked and distracted very easily. For example, I watched the movie Ted...

Hi there. I'm really apprehensive and confused at the moment. I've got a big dilemma and I don't know what to do. I'm 24 and have no idea what I want to do with my life. I still live with my Mum and I have a pretty dead-end job, I live in a town with no hope and I have not many friends. My...
