I went into town today, was really busy, I felt really uncomfortable, couldn't look at anyone, felt like sh** :lol: so ended up going home as usual. i just feel so uncondifdent inmyself and always thinking about my height it gets me really down. :( I dunno how I'm ever gonna get a job in this state.. grrr :evil: My parentes are telling me to get to the doctors, i feel real sorry for them as it's getting them down too having to pay for me etc. Would it be any help for me to go there or nothing they can do?

What is the problem with height? Yes being tall helps psycologically, but then think of Napoleon... :)

I wasn't sure whether to write this, but I would not suggest that you go to a doctor. There is nothing like recognizing shyness as a "sickness" to make it become one. A doctor will not pull you out of your troubles, you will still have to do all the painful job yourself, and you will have put a label on yourself by paying for mental treatment. Can you see my point? Not to mention the cost. I for myself would think twice about that, and only consider it as the very last option.
But of course, I might be completely wrong, it really depends on your case.

Being angry with your family doesn't help you get a job and overcome SA... trust me!!! I argued with my family every single day living with them, they yelled at me over the slightest thing also and there were times I thought I wouldn't care if I never saw them again too, but there was a catch... I needed a roof over my head because my SA was stopping me working and keeping jobs.

The very last time we argued was the point where I decided to move to another COUNTRY and then I didn't see them again for almost 2 1/2 years (last month) and I could only do that because I had a man to support me, keep a roof over my head and pay the bills.

I would suggest you go see a psychologist or psychiatrist and get a diagnosis, it should help your parents realise you have a real illness and to treat you a bit better.
