Hobbies

[Shaky_Hand_Man]

I think if i had a couple of hobbies and kept my mind busy every waking hour i wouldnt have SA! I just wondered if any of you have any hobbies too and if they help your SA and if so what are they. At the moment mine seem to be reading about/ watching football and going out on the lash on a weekend (which doesnt help me one bit!). Thanks

Photography, Sports (riding my bike), writing, etc. These are all things that will make you feel better about yourself.

I draw. It likely makes my SA worse sitting alone and drawing all day, but eventually I'll be able to do it for a livng and never go into any unwanted social situations . Maybe I'll post some work here sometime.

What is a lash? besides and eyelash? :lol:

I don't really have many hobbies. I play guitar, but it gets annoying and boring! I make stuff on photoshop? I need a real hobby.. Like.. making mosaics or something!

"on the lash" is "on the piss" or going out and gettin completely blind drunk.

I dont have any hobbies. It's like I lost interest in everything b/c of this social phobia. I don't want to do anything anymore. Just want to die. :evil:

I know social phobia can be disheartening and make you feel like this, but i don't think that it is true you have no interests. You just don't have the energy to deal with the fear etc of doing them around people. Imagine a day without people. Where you could walk out your front door and you wouldn't have to speak to anyone or feel any fear. What would you do with that day? Would you actually want to just sit in your room?

I love horse riding, reading and playing sports mainly.
SA kinda stops me doing some of those things sometimes though..

maybe take a walk in the park and go to some gaming arcades.

cool

social phobia can make us bitter and depressed and want to just shut off...if we don't care we can't get hurt right?

As i live in the countryside (besides from gaming) i would just walk places, kinda what inspired me to buy a camera. Tried drawing and making music but i think im too impatient for that or got distracted lol.

Learning another language has helped. It takes alot of brain energy and totally gets your focus in a different place. You are using a different part of your brain. Also - great way to meet other people of a different culture. I'm learning to speak Vietnamese.

Pick a country you are interested in.
