Hi,
I don't really know what to say about myself. Just that I've had social phobia for as long as I can remember. It seems to affect every single aspect of my life negatively. It makes everyday activities seem impossible. I'm very lonely, and I feel like no one understands because the only advice I ever get is "just get over it" or "don't care what people think". I've done everything possible to get better from this disorder, and I've had improvements, but I'm still struggling everyday. Sometimes it all feels so hopeless. I want to do so many things with my life, but I feel trapped in myself. I don't know if I'll ever become anything worth being. I guess I just wanted to say, this is all so difficult. I just want a friend who understands it all. Maybe we could both help each other.
Thanks for reading :)

Welcome to the forums!
I'm not sure if I will ever be able to help but some of what you said is how I feel sometimes, but then other times I feel like I can do anything I want, I have up days and down days but generally most days I feel like I am trapped too. I generally think I can do things when it comes to personal ideas and things that I can do myself and from home but if I was to go out and have a proper 9-5 job I don't think I could manage so well, I think I would be a wreck!

talking can certainly help even if the other person simply listens so if you need a friend I am perfectly willing to take you up on that offer haha :p or at least try, give me a message if you want, for I am a loner that hates to be completely alone :p

Hey Amber and welcome! I'm sure that you'll find some answers here and find some friends and a good time:D! Don't be afraid to be silly or act like the true you or here; in fact, we encourage it!

If you want a friend or someone to talk to, I'd be more than willing to listen. Ask and I'll help in whatever way that I can. It's great to see that you're fighting though; keep struggling and you'll find the key out of this prison. Lastly, you are something worth being already; your existence is just as important as mine or anyone else's. Don't ever forget that; your worth is something that you're making right now. You may not see it, but we, as in the world, will see it. Just keep doing what you do and shoot for the stars!

Hi Amber, welcome to SPW.

I think a lot of us can relate to what you're feeling. The "don't care what people think" advice in particular frustrates me, because I'd love to stop caring, only I can't.

Hello, Amber. Welcome to the forum.

While I don't seem as crippled by anxiety as you, I am always around for a sympathetic ear. Enjoy your stay. :)
