Are there any other Social anxiety havers who force themselves outside all the time?

I feel like that a lot Marund. I can function socially in certain settings, but if I do not know anyone or go somewhere unfamiliar? Not good lol. What you said about watching a movie with friends and leaving is something I have done. I felt remorse about doing it but I needed to get out and go home. I get some heavy bouts of agoraphobia and feel much better when I am home.....alone.
I do however like deep conversations and not the usual trivial banter. I often feel like people just "act" how they think they should as opposed being who they really are. I do know that people that suffer from these types of feelings or disorders are above average intelligence. That could explain our boredom with these types of situations. Like many of you, were are not being elitist or snobbish. But rather yearning for meaningful conversation other than the usual "wow, we're gonna get wasted tonight", or "I am gonna sleep with as many people as possible".

Your talking to someone who went to a concert with 80,000 people and felt alone. I feel your pain and share many of the same thoughts and feelings you do. I wish you nothing but best in terms of finding some answers. I have more questions than answers myself.
