Hello I'm Jason.
I'm 31 years old and I've struggled with SA since Junior High. I've been to see therapists before and been on meds but nothing since I graduated from college. I seem to be at a pretty low point now. I still live with my dad and I have no friends in real life and only one online. Somehow I've managed to keep a full time job for the last two years, but mostly I think I just got lucky. As you can tell, I have very low self-esteem. I also don't feel comfortable making small talk. I avoid people as much as possible.
I don't mind being shy and quiet, that's my personality and that's probably how it'll always be. But I would like to stop being so anxious over mundane things like making doctors appointments or getting my oil changed in my car. I would also like to make some friends on this site, but I haven't been too good about keeping in touch with people after our first few chats. Maybe that will change.
There's much more I could write about regarding my SA. It's a little bit complicated because there are some situations that some people with SA would be terrified about but that are no big deal to me. Like how I find it much easier to talk to girls than to guys. That changes though if there's a remote chance of me dating the girl.
Anyway, I look forward to meeting people here!
