Hi everyone.
I accidentally stumbled over this forum, read a bit here and there for a while and eventually decided to give it a go. I'll just cut my introduction to: Guy in central europe having various issues.

Hi, so this is where I introduce myself huh?
Okay, so I am from Southern California Los Angeles. I named me inferiorpotter because last night I was watching harry potter and I thought I wanted to combine with my inferiority and ****. I know it doesn't make any sense.
Anyway, I m in my early 30's, still living at home and still trying to figure out with what to do with my life. I am not 100% sure if I have this social "Phobia" One thing is for sure, I am not socializing and it's has been like that for a while. I recently found out that I have been suffering from inferioritycomlex all my life and it really surprised me because I never conciously thought and told myself I am inferior but judging and anaylizing my automatic thoughts, now I know I have it. So I hope I can benefit from this forum and contribute something as well. THank you!

Call me Essie. I'm from NYC.
To make things short:
I was no one from day 1 = Kindergarten.
So it happened for elementary school, and junior high, Same for High school.
No matter what school i went to, no matter how friendly I was. ( I tried hard for years, i forced myself. I was the perfect dieter, I even made the cheer leading team.) And Still people would make fun of me. I was always trying hard to be 'normal' to just like what everyone else did, dress and act the same. I'm now 20 and I still can't do it nor I will ever be normal. No friends I care about, never been with someone I liked. ( I had bf's but because I was afraid of not being normal I dated anyone) Like I said, I forced myself to make people believe I was happy. And I'm still the same, Doing things just to appear normal. Except for dieting. I'm not alive I'm just breathing.

Hello, my name's Sascha.
I decided to join this forum because I noticed how little I have changed in the past few years. I actually though I had made a lot of progress but I'm basically still the same insecure and uncomfortable person.
Anyway, I hope this place will give me an opportunity to talk to people who are similiar to me.

Hello future friends,
My name is Katie :] I'm 20 and have been dealing with social anxiety since middle school. Not many people realize the pain I'm in during every conversation because I hide behind humor. I crack jokes so that no one suspects that I'm self-conscious. I spend hours every day planning out every possible social interaction; I constantly wonder if the people around me think I'm stupid. Many people think I have naturally rosy cheeks; they don't know that my cheeks are burning with embarrassment even though I'm laughing at a really good joke.
Much like any person with social phobia, I have my vices. Along with humor, I hide behind books; they transport me to a different world where I don't have to feel judged. I also smoke a lot of weed because it loosens my inhibitions and makes me feel more comfortable in my surroundings.
2 years ago I got kicked out of college. I never went to class because I felt so uncomfortable being around all of those strangers (I puked on 2 different occasions, barely making it to the bathroom). It was a huge blow to my ego; I felt worthless because I had allowed this disease to consume my life so much. I failed 3 classes and tried to end my life; thanks to my stranger room mate, I'm still here to talk to you today :]
Through all of this, I'm still very proud of myself. I've made a lot of changes in 2 years and I'm so proud of all of my accomplishments (no matter how minor). I've realized that I am not invincible and that my mind may in fact be a little more fragile than the average person's. I challenge myself more and more every day so that I can work towards getting back to school and ultimately having a better life :]
My goal in life is to have a family of my own who I can be myself with 100% of the time. Anyway, that's basically my life in a nutshell, hope to get to know all of you better :]

Hi Katie, and welcome to the site. I'd like to hear about how you challenge yourself and the positive changes you've made.
