Do you really want to be social?

Between these two would be perfect for me:
"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"

I love being alone, but at the same time, I get lonely & wish a had someone to talk to & do things with.

I have no desire to be a social butterfly. My shortcomings and idiosyncrasies are part of my identity. I'd just like a small network of friends and that special someone. Yeah, I think I'm an introvert till death.

Its not that i want to be the life and soul of the party because i never was before. I'd just like to do the little things like go the cinema with friends instead of freaking out about the whole thing.

And going out every now and again like every saturday like normal people would be nice but i wouldnt want to do it 24/7. That just makes me feel tired the thought of it. :)

It depends on how I look at it.

If I want to be successful then it would be helpful for me in the business world. Alot of things nowadays is not what or how much you know, but WHO you know. Quite frankly I hate networking (duh!), can't remember names well, and I'm not even good at placing faces (I sometimes joke that all humans look alike to me).


In the other hand I wouldn't mind if I never had to deal with another human being again.

someone with a a small circle of friends but u have no problem talking to others<<<<this would be me. I'm an introvert anyway with or without S.A. but I wouldn't have any problems talking to anyone.

I'm really not sure at this point, but definitely any of your first three choices are better than my current situation.

reading all the previous entries, it does make me realise how similar my own experiences are to other people here. I have only started on this site, but i am having a chance understand myself more throught listening/reading what everyone is saying , and also being a bit more social and open as well (its good)

Well I've always been a loner by choice. With some friends, of course.
But, I don't think I'd go out all the time, definitely wouldn't be a big alcoholic (I'm 20 and have only been drunk like 4 - 5 times). I'd just like a group of about 5 good friends that would be around for a while.

I would still be an introvert. I'd like to just have a small group of friends who I'm comfortable around and could have fun hanging out with sometimes. I'd have no desire for any super close friends, nor would I want a lot of friends. I'd go out with them, but not constantly. I'd still need time alone. I'd be able to talk to guys, but not be real flirty either. I'd be comfortable meeting new people and, ya know, just talking.

I think I would still be a quite person.But being able to interact with people and just be outside without feeling tense would be such a blessing to me,I would definitively not be living like this if I didn't have to.

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

Are these choices? I'd lose my social anxiety, but not my individuality. I will not go to parties every weekend or watch football on Sunday night. I won't get drunk or do drugs. I won't smoke or indulge in sex.

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.

Perhaps that is just SA itself talking? (trying to protect itself)

If it did disappear, perhaps your preferences would change.

If I could Imagine a perfect world for me, I would stay at home all the time and have a beautiful girlfriend and boyfriend live with me. I would never leave and would also do drugs.Maybe have one friend to come over and do drugs with me.

I don't do drugs now, but only because I don't want to go to jail...

:D

We are probably all introverts, so I don't think we would be social butterflies. We would do whatever we want and not be afraid anymore if we were "cured"...

I would want to be a very very social person.
I already replied to this but I am changing my answer.

I love the variety that is involved with human personalities... I love seeing physical bodies shaped by circumstances and others' perspectives and ways of seeing situations. I would love to explore all of those personalities. If I were very social, I wouldn't be going to parties, but I'd be speaking to many divine individuals who I at the moment admire from afar
