I was diagnosed with PDD-NOS when I was younger, but I think I've grown out of it for the most part, and am now left with normal symptoms of social anxiety disorder. I wanted to reach out to you guys and ask how much you feel you have in common with me, because I honestly feel the online social...

Whenever I click a topic from the list of threads on the top of the main page, it takes over an hour for the bold to go away. Also, even if a post is unread, is still shows up as being read if enough time has passed. Anyone else seeing these bugs?

Now I know these are bad traits. And I think it's my mind compensating and projecting how I feel about myself. But does anyone just feel annoyed by people in general, because you feel that they should be as self-conscious of their flaws as you are? Of course I don't judge anyone on here, cause I...

When you see a doctor or dentist, do you feel like more of an idiot then usual? They ask you to follow simple directions and I feel I even suck at that.

Who else has a mind that's always all over the place? If it weren't for sleep medication, I'd be lying in bed all night, unable to sleep because of my thoughts. I can't concentrate on reading, composing, or even sitting down for dinner without going back and forth to check facebook, or here, or...

So when did your SA start, and what was the cause? Bullying? Issues with parents? Another disorder that makes you self-conscious? For me, I was always somewhat introverted, even as a kid. But in middle school, my best friend drifted apart from me, and everyone starting gravitating into groups...

I have a close friend who's sort of similar to me, and I'm afraid he's becoming more sociable and outgoing. Am I selfish for wanting him to stay introverted like me, because I sort of feel an obligation to be happy for him. It's also that even though he sorta looks up to me, he's getting better...

I don't know, for some reason lately I haven't been able to find people's jokes that funny anymore. I mean I still love movies and stand up, but when talking to people, I haven't seriously like cracked up. I don't know why. Maybe I've been more depressed lately, I dunno. Anyone feel this way?

and you see them just getting better at being part of society while you just stay the same?

I came to the realization that I can't naturally change the way I think. I can't just train my brain to stop caring what people think of me, or to stop thinking in 3rd person. It's too hard, I'm just someone who's always thinking. I feel like it's easy for me to run out of things to say, even...

Anyone else hate playing any sort of card or board games with friends?

Do you think most people here are in their teens or 20's because most people who use the internet and join forums are young, or because you grow out of having SA as you get older?

I'm feeling like shit right now because I got the great idea of looking at the profiles of a few kids I knew in elementary school on facebook. I don't know if I wanted to make myself feel bad, but if I did, it sure worked! Everyone of them are at parties, with their arms around one another...

When you're with your family, and there are kids your age, does it feel like everyone sort of likes them more than you? And of course they love you, but I mean like you, who they're most proud of, who they'd rather sit down and talk with.

I feel like if my parents sort of spoiled me as a kid. I would throw tantrums a lot, and they would give in most of the time. I'm an only child, and I would entertain myself most of the time at home, they wouldn't really make me go out and play with other kids in the neighborhood. I mean they've...

Who here is stuck in a boring repetitive, overly stable life? I'm not, but that's what I'm afraid of. I'm still in high school, and I don't really know what's going to happen to me once I have to live on my own. Unlike most people here, I'm also lazy, picky, and a bit spoiled in addition to my...

Anyone hate gym? Like really, truly, hate it? I will do anything I possibly can to avoid gym class. Not because I'm not athletic or anything, but because it's the only subject that revolves around social interaction.

Alright, this is sort of hard to explain. A lot of the time, pretty much only when I'm in my house, I act as if there were cameras around me, imagining that my life is being filmed as a documentary or something. It's like I need so badly for my talents/thoughts/experiences to be viewed by...

Whenever a friend tells me something good has happened in their life, like they talked to some girl, found some sort of job, or are just moving forward in anyway, I can't really feel good for them. It always makes me feel shitty about myself, and how my life isn't really going anywhere, and that...

I realize there's a disconnect between my thoughts and my words. Once I think something, and then I start talking, or even think about talking, I lose my train of thought and my mind has to start all over again. I guess that's why I talk in such short direct ideas. I could never orchestrate...
