I'm trying to write down the things that I need to work on but I'm having a hard time to articulate. I know its different for everyone but I want to know all of your perspectives. Here's mine- I have anxiety in general, it might not be related to social anxiety though. I have a really soft...

I was thinking about courage today randomly and it occured to me how its kind of subjective. Just wondering, whom would you consider braver? The person who has no problems with anxiety (not more than usual) and takes part in dangerous activites or does them for a living or the person who's...

So the study group I'm in are going for a picnic. My classmates and specially the teacher insisting that I should go. Now the reason I don't want to go is, everyone has a solid group of friends here while I have none so I'm afraid once we're there everyone is going to hang out with their...

Lately my anxiety's been getting really worse or maybe it seems worse because I'm actively trying to deal with it. And then there're these depression episodes when I just don't want to get up from bed. The thing is I also have a very busy schedule where I have to be around people constantly. So...

I think most of us have been accused of not being 'normal' one time or another. Atleast that has been the case for me quite a few times, I've also used the word normal a lot too, without thinking too much. But I wonder, what does this "normal" mean and what does a "normal person" seem like...

I think I'm going through a particularly low phase of my life at the moment. Although I'm trying to put myself into social situations, do my best despite of feeling low. It'll take a while though before I can do all these things on a fairly consistent basis. As for now, there're times when I...

Does anyone have any tips on how to stop overthinking about everything or atleast control it? I tend to overthink a lot even about the sillies mistakes, most ridiculous comments, perceived criticisms or just anything in general. It usually ends up with me either being really depressed or awfully...

Okay I know I've really bad social skills, I can't hold a decent conversation, awful at making eye contacts, I've got really bad body language too and I need to work on them and a few other things as well. Its only natural that people won't want to talk to me that much, it makes sense, why would...

I don't know if its the correct term. I'm just getting sick of people telling me all the time that I need to stop being so sensitive and the worst thing is I know its true! I'm super sensitive even to the slightest criticism even when I know its abosolutely irrelevant. It can ruin my entire day...

I don't know if this makes sense but speak way too low to the point that people can barely hear me. I guess its one of the reasons why I get ignored a lot. The irony is when I try to be loud, I become WAY too loud. Is this because of shyness/ nervousness? How can I be more loud?

Hi, welcome to the forum. I hope you have a great time here.

So this is one of the weird thoughts that I'm having lately. I might make little or no sense at all, it might as well be just a stupid ramble so I apologise in advance. As most of us know or at least taught that humans are social creatures. Its somewhat true I guess since we have some social...

My mom's always been overprotective and I think along with my own temperment its one of the biggest reasons of my SA. I don't know how to put it in words but she never lets me do anything by myself. I was never allowed go to my friends' house or hang out with them untill recently when I begged...

First of all I want to say that my parents have been very nice and supportive to me. I'm very close to them but they've ALWAYS been so overprotective and I think it somewhat contributed to my SA. I randomly came across a forum today, I read that some parents actually prefer this type of...

I do that a lot, like whenever I see people I know I always tend to look the other way pretending I didn't notice them. Its not becoz I don't like them or anything I'm just scared to go & talk. People think it as other way though, my friend was telling me today how my classmates think that I'm...

My sense of humor is really wierd & random.Its like whenever I try to crack a joke or respond to one ppl look at me funny & say 'Why did u say that?' This always happens.Anyone else has this kind of humour?How am I supposed to fix it?

Or I have to put up with it my whole life! I know its a stupid question but I'm really tired of it.Agggh..... I just can't take it anymore!!!

I definitely do.I mean I'd still have problems but I could handle them more easily.I didn't have to worry about stuff other ppl don't even think about.I'm just so sick of it!Every day I wake up & worry what bad might happen today.I'm always so scared to go to school/malls/social gatherings.I'm...

Do you think ppl are complex?like you can't completely understand a person even if you knew them for you entire life..,is it really that complicated?

So I've this friend.We both have the same interests,our sense of humour match,she's very nice to hang out with when were're alone.I love spending time with her(again alone)but she acts completely different around others.Like the other day we're with our one friend & she was literally making fun...
