Here's a question

[fazzer]

At what point do you look at your role in life as a consequence of SP and not just that you really are worthless (to other people at least).

I guess the reason I ask is cos i'm interested in other peoples take on this. I have read a lot about how people with SP 'know' that it's irrational etc. But I don't think like that. Inside I 'know' that people don't want to talk to me, be around me etc and I have suffered the consequences. I admit that no one ever truly 'knows' anything but i'm as close as I can be without doing a nationwide poll

So what then. What if deep down you know that the way you feel about yourself is right because you can see how much more popular other people are and how little they get trodden on.

No amount of cognative therapy can make people like you. So then it feels like my only choice is to find some sort of medication that just stops me knowing how disliked I am rather than sorting anything.

Sorry, i'm not being deliberately negative, that's just how I feel.

Is apologising a lot a symptom of SP
