Thank you!

Yeah I'm 33. Totally unashamed.

I don't think there was ever any kind of unstated age limit. I remember at one time when the forum was more active there was an age check. Some members were in their 60's and probably higher. Social phobia doesn't discriminate by age. Nobody should feel ashamed for coming here if it helps them.

So right outsider!

From what I've read, social phobia affects more young (teens-20s) and old (65+) people than it does middle aged people. Yet here I am.

I'm nearly 35 and I don't know what I would do if I didn't have this space to vent, rant, moan, complain about my anxiety. I think I'll be coming on here for a lot longer at this rate.

I am 32. I feel like the older I get...the worst my anxiety gets. I am glad we have a place to go to.

The perception of being old changes with age.

As a boy I used to picture people in their 20s as old, and call them mister/misses.

Now that I am nearing my 30s a lot has changed on how I relate to people older than me — I consider people in their 50-60s as still young.

Yeah. I'm 41 and now I've actually got something to give. Nobody wants it!

When I could only get part time work I could tell myself, I'm lonely because I'm a failure. Now I'll just always be lonely no matter what.
