I never knew that there was a name to the way I felt until last week when I saw something on the net. I too am not sociable. Not because I don't want to be, but because my mind goes blank when I'm one on one with someone (other then my mother and sister). And to call someone on the phone, forget it. I have a friend that I grew up with who's mad at me because I don't call her. We were like sisters and where separated after I moved away for about 10 years. We found each other again when I moved back in town and I was thrilled! We've seen each other a few times, but when it came to calling her, I would put it off until the next day because I just knew I didn't have anything to say. Days became weeks, then months, now years. It's a shame I know. Last week our department had a picnic after work and as soon as I show up, my stomach tightens up and I feel tense the whole time. I try to mingle and I want to mingle, but I end up being on my own. When I do talk I stumble over my words sometimes which makes it worse. When I leave it's like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders and I sigh with relief. Does this sound like Social Phobia to you? :?:
