I just recently started going out and doing a few things. Yesterday, i went to the ymca for a small little party they always have on fridays, 10pm-12am
After i got there, i found the only friend that i knew that went there didn't show up, so i was alone. I sat on one of the benches the hole 2 hours and near the end of the party, a guy hesitantly sits next to me. I saw him the week before here, and he did look pretty non-social then.
He asked me if this was my first time here, when i said no, he asked if there was something wrong. I told him that my friend wasn't here etc.
At the time, afew people were talking about what schools they went to, so he asked me. I said that i didn't go to school, he asked why. I continued, and said i have alittle social phobia, so i had dropped out a year ago.
Then, in my surprise, he said he had social problems to, and had asked me if i've ever talked to anyone about it. The conversation continues, slowly and with some stumbling of words from each of us. He then said that he normally has never talked to a random person for this long. We had only talked for 10 min., and then they started kicking everyone out. We plan to meet again at the same place on the 21st.
Maybe i'm just being paranoid, but do you think hes telling the truth about this? Maybe he was putting on a act to get to me?
Because i've never met, in real life, a person that has the same problems we all have here.
It just makes me wonder, since i was the first one to say i have a social problem, and he did just sit next to me and started talking...
I dont know, maybe i'm just worrying to much. Has anyone here ever met a random person in real life that has social phobia to?

If he does have social phobia symptoms, then you might not find anyone better to be with, because he will understand some of the ways you have, that any other person would take even perhaps an offense to.
