Im so glad I found this website. I suffer from Social Phobia and have had it since I was born. I always thought there was something wrong with me, why couldnt I have friends? Why could I not have fun at a party? Why did I always have to think twice about something most people never give a thought to etc etc!
Then when I was 15, my teacher took me out in front of loads of other kids and had a go at me. She was nasty and she was yelling at me because I was shy. I never felt so humiliated. She told me shyness is somethign you are supposed to grow out of & then I should grow up and stop acting like a little kid. And she told me to join in things more even though to me, this was impossible!
So even though I had this social phobia since I was born...when at 15, I had that horrible experience with the teacher, that just made it worse, adn I felt that having this condition was unacceptable, and now I am 23 and feel deeply ashamed about being this way, but I cant help it
Im always being told Im lazy or getting told off by everyone because I have trouble getting a job!!! Ifind it hard to get a job with this!!!
