I know we all talk about the woes of having our variations of social anxiety but I am wondering if anybody thinks that living with SA has made them a tougher/better person. It may sound a little oxymoron-ish but I actually think for me it has. Why? Well for starters it has forced me to have to...

SA has squashed me like a slug on the sidewalk of life.

Without doubt, social phobia has made me a tougher person.

I am rejected by my peer group at work (which I think is due to my high level of Social Anxiety). This has happened to me in previous jobs as well. So I definitely need some mental toughness to deal with it. Aleast I'm thankful I'm in a stable job and can afford a decent lifestyle.

I think that's a great attitude to have! Appreciate what you have and the brighter side of life. I am definitely not going to let my SA beat me down to the point where I stop fighting for my happiness.
