A Place to Introduce Yourself

Hello, fellow agoro's.

Hi everyone, I'm Cam from Australia. I've had Social Anxiety ever since high school although I didn't realise what it was until just a couple of years ago (I'm now 28).

It's something that's held me back in life, as you know it can stop you from doing things you want/need to do. In my case that's a whole lot of things from moving out of home, finding a job I like and having close/intimate relationships. Along with SA I've have depression which has become more prevalent in the last couple of years. I'm currently on Effexor (venlafaxine) which is starting make things more stable. Everyday I'm working on getting past these problems and trying to live my life how I want it. It's a long, hard road, especially when you can't see much in front of you but I feel it's worth it! 🙂

......................

Hay everyone

I am Ben I am currently 21 years old, I live in Australia. Some might point out that I am some what nerdy or geeky.

So What brings be to this forum I have been looking for a forum for quite sometime now and this one seemed to be a nice place to to be...

Well I am sure you will get to know me in this next few weeks.

Hi everyone. I've sort of introduced myself to a few people here, but I suppose this would be a good place to introduce myself in full for all.

I'm 20 years old, turning 21 in a few months from now. I'm originally from the east coast, but I'm landed for the moment in the Bay Area of the West Coast. I'm currently going for 5 AA degrees in Anthropology, Sociology, History (twice), and Pyschology although Anthropology is by far my favorite. I attend full time at two colleges and am planning to graduate next spring. I do alt modeling for the time being. I love to read political philosophy and historical books. I love water. I tend to be more introverted, but I'd hardly consider it a psychologic problem unless it relates to the working economical systems. Anywho, pleasure to meet you all.

Hi - I'm a single female in my 30's and like many people here, I suffer from shyness/social anxiety. I thought I'd join this forum to see if I could maybe meet some new friends 🙂
Anyone else from the UK? Feel free to say hello 🙂

Welcome to the site, Shyfemuk.

Hello there. I'm 21 years old, about to finish college, and suffer from social phobia and avoidant personality disorder. It's relieving to finally be in the presence of people who understand. I'm an anti-consumerist and progressive neo-masculinist who enjoys running, photography, nature, and writing. I'm also a dedicated boxing fan and health freak.

And now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to watch some Arrested Development.

Hello everyone 🙂

I'm rose, I'm from Halifax in the UK, no, I don't live in the bank 😉 I've had SA since I can remember, always been a very shy child and a loner, I'm 13 and not been in high school long and am struggling compared to when I attended juniors.

Callisto hung around in the chatroom for a while. She seems like a groovy chica. 😀

What exactly is a progressive neo-masculinist? Anywho, lots of people from MD here. Must be something in the water. Welcome!

Hello everyone 🙂

Hi! And wow, you're young! Doesn't mean you can't have the same problems of course; just means you can't be diagnosed. Welcome!

Two ideas: correcting gender inequalities and rethinking gender schemas to consider the individual in isolation. It's... complicated. 😉

You mean about it not being fair to introverted males that they are still expected to be the initiators?

I meant, in general, that we shouldn't adhere to rigid conceptions of gender. It's not so much a question of 'male' or 'female,' but the individual. For instance, a person shouldn't be stigmatized for cross-dressing - we should accept that it's a part of their personality.

Hi to all on forum.

I am excited about joining and relating to people who endure similar pains and feelings. There is nothing like belonging and I think I found my niche here. Since age 7 or so I have had severe shyness/avoidance/anxieties. Only recently I have finally faced them. Denial is a bitch and catches up quickly. Feelings buried alive never die. Thanks for reading and thanks for this forum.

Welcome. May I be the first to ask the question that's on everybody's lips:

Why does your sister suck? 🙂

Well...Imagine the most shallow, spoiled, "look at me I'm pretty!", mean girl you could possibly think. That's her. And somehow I always felt like the younger sister, even though she is 5 yrs. younger.
