[EmptyBeautiful]

Hey everyone,
I'm new to the forum and hope to get something out of this without taking any medications or pills in the long run. I'm a 26 year old female. I don't know how serious my Social phobia/anxiety really is . . Here are some examples of what makes me beleive that I suffer from the disorder
* Have trouble making eye contact with certain people especially boss's at work, my co-workers, and MEN.
*When i do make eye contact, I notice I will just sit there and NOT blink. It's worse than a deer in head lights. Kinda freaky to think That i have trouble blinking when making eyecontact!
*My heart beats extremely fast in certain social situations most which take place at WORK.
*My palms sweat, and I can feel my face burning from blushin.
*90% of men make me feel awkward and nervous.
*When I'm the center of attention, I freeze, its like my body can no longer move and such a scary helpless feeling
*alcohol makes me feel very SOCIABLE! sad but true thats one of the only ways I can live a normal life is when I'm not sober

One thing I will say is that there is a wonderful, caring,creative, inspiring, intelligent person inside of me waiting to show the world my gifts I have to offer. Not bragging, but I've been told I am very attractive. What's the point though when I'm this much of a weirdo. I just wish I could break out of my shell and show the world who I am. Sad but NOBODY outside my intermediate family really knows who I am because the anxiety has stopped me from being me

Try and feel a little better because you have just taken a small step that will only bring good things for yourself. You'll find people here have the same things you have. Trust me I'm much more of a weirdo than you could ever imagine. I have everything you have and more and I can find people here that can relate.

The opposite sex can make us extremely nervous especially.

I feel the same way about being a great person on the inside but I too have trouble showing people the real me that I don't feel I can trust yet.

Anyway....Welcome EmptyBeautiful have a fantastic time
