Do you really want to be social?

[da_illest101]

Most of us here are pretty much alone, can't really talk to ppl or just avoid them. Now imagine there was a cure for SA, would you just go become:

a very social person who is out going parties ect,

someone with a a small circle of friends but u have no problem talking to others

you will stay the same but you know you can talk to anyone at anytime about anything without problem

you'll just say f the world and go back to be a loner without caring for anyone

 

[market.garden]

Yeah same here. I do get envious of people who can socialize with anyone and everyone whenever they want.

 

[Shift]

Probably the section option. Which would more or less be how I am now, except for the not having problems talking to others part.

 

[socalledemo]

I think I would go out and meet as many people as possible. So, I guess the first option. I agree with AimeeSP; I always see pics on facebook and wish I was there.

 

[pink-moon]

I think I'd go for the 3rd option. If my SA disappeared, parties and such still wouldn't appeal to me, and I wouldn't be (or want to be) a highly social person all of a sudden, it isn't in my DNA.

 

[SnowWolf]

Probably never be a party animal or anything, but I get invited out sometimes and I get so depressed because I feel I can't go. The usual I'll have nothing to say/they'll have a better time if I don't go/I'll make a fool of myself and never get over it crap. And yes I'm really envious when I see group photos of them out having a great time. I wish I could picture myself with them but I just can't.

well said! i would be the same

 

[NinjaLikesToast]

I would say the third thing you listed would be me. The fourth one is closed to what I am NOW.. not fun.

Hmm...if stuttering didn't bother me in the least.... I wouldn't be a social butterfly I don't think, but I wouldn't dread going places like church as much.

hehe this reminds me of the plot to x-men 3 (the whole mutant cure dilemma)

If I was cured I think I would be as social as I can possibly be, make up for my earlier problems and make all these new friends, so I could reach my potential!

 

[mummylala]

I dont think id become a big party animal or anything but id certainly go out when im invited plus id be able to take the kids to all the parties and places that they want to go to..

 

[zlench]

I just want some actual friends.

 

[rigby1987]

Yeh i would love to be social but that seems impossible for me .

 

[Lionheart]

Yeh i would love to be social but that seems impossible for me .

This is what i think its to good to be true::

 

[SPV]

I just want some actual friends.

Second that,

And I also just wanna HAVE A LIFE!

 

[Ignace]

Having no fear in normal situations is more then enough for me.

 

[sleepyotoole]

i would really love to be social, to enjoy meeting others, going to parties. But most of all i would be happy just to be at peace inside my own mind.
There is a lot of conflict in my mind that is really amplified (overpowering) when i meet other people, so i would be so happy to end this termoil and then the world around me would hopefully be easier to deal with. I just have to hope that this can happen

Agreed. I would love to be just myself, without anyone else and enjoy the solitude.

 

[anomicdeer]

I don't really care for parties or being around a lot of people.
Sometimes it's okay( in crowds) because I'm not in the center of attention. But if I had a bf or just a friend, maybe 2 more 3, I would rather be somewhere so we all have to pay attention to each other.

Sometimes I want to have a social life but then sometimes I don't think I CAN.
I really don't know.

I don't really like to go out to places. Less is better for me when I want to go out somewhere. I wouldn't have to feel like everyone is watching me and I would be more comfortable with that.

I've been to a few nightclubs and parties and such. It's good to go to once in a while but doing it every week would be overkill for me. I need time alone to think, read, relax. Even if I had no fears I would never be one of those socially bubble type of person.

I want to have better social skills. I want to express myself better in the company of others. I want to develop better relationships. So yes I guess I want to be (more) social but I don't want to party everyday lol.
