Hi everyone!

My name's Richard and I've suffered from social anxiety and depression for many years now. I am a teacher, so have become very good at acting confident in front of people - but outside the classroom I often hide away. Also, despite lots of qualifications and achievements, I have to say I hate myself for - well, just being me.

But I try to be a good guy and a good friend, I treat people how I want to be treated, and I try not to burden others with my problems.

So that's me in a nutshell. I am very glad to have found this site, and look forward to chatting with you soon :bigsmile:

Welcome to the forum Richard. I think it's great that you could be a teacher and have SA and depression-Pretty impressive!
But, I do understand having an irrational self loathing. I do it very well!
