How are you feeling?

Flowers make me sneeze.

So if I gave you fake flowers because I knew real ones made you sneeze, that wouldn't get grief because they are fake and cheaper right?

Nervous. Heading into town soon to meet other social phobics. Did it once before and it went pretty good...but I have a feeling there will be quite a few more this time... and I have to wear a santa hat so people can find me.

Just know some may want to sit on your lap. And ask if you've been naughty or nice... (then again this is a social phobic get together... so maybe not :D HAVE FUN! Great thing you're doing!

I'd love to have a child, one day...

Good luck if you finally decide to adopt someday. I don't know you personally but you seem the kind of person that would be a great mother :)

Awwww, thank you! Actually, the feeling was a relief to me, because motherly instincts are so foreign to me. Nice to know it's there if I need it.

It's like when you love someone so much that it makes your heart ache to think about it.

I remember visiting the hospital after my older nephew was born, and holding him my arms, and having him look up at me. And I was overwhelmed by this unexpected strength of feeling towards that little stranger, that I'd protect him at any cost.

That made me feel like it might be nice to be able to feel that amount of love for my own child.

Yeah.

*sighs*

I'm not likely to get the chance.

That sounds like a really cool idea!

Come on Social Phobics from South East England, let's meet up!!! :D

Do you skate?!
Just try to have some fun and focus on doing your own thing.
It's hard- I know... but if you do your best, I'm sure you'll have something good to report back to us with!

No I was going to watch hockey. And I got there and the spot I sit where nobody else sits there were a bunch of people who I honestly dont like. So I moved down and then one of them who thinks were friends which we're not came and sat with me.We sat in dead silence the whole game,one of the most awkward things ever. Im now cold and miserable...

I'm feeling... all right, actually. I'm not ecstatic and high off life or anything, but I can say that I feel content right now. My mother even noticed that today when I was with her at the store. She said I didn't seem real irritable at all, that I seemed to be in a better mood than I normally am and have been.

I'm feeling a little nervous about tomorrow. In the afternoon I have a writers' workshop, which is supposed to have a lot of people attending, and may or may not involve group work (I suspect it will). Then I have to spend my evening with a bunch of drunk engineers at a Christmas Party. Ugh.

You remind me so much of my sister. :) Glad you're doing okay today!

I had my work christmas party today. I've been at this place for 2 months, before that I was working for 3 years somewhere else. I'm 29. At the end of the supper was the dancing where I got petrified and announced I was leaving, especially after someone said we all get up and go on the dance floor on the next song. So, to my announcement people looked away at me, my boss said bye and at that moment I felt as if suicide was an extremely viable option. Just because I had no clue how I was going to face these same people (my team) on Monday.

But, of course, I will probably find a way to make it on Monday, yipdee f...ing do, not that it won't take every ounce of me of course and that I won't be thinking about what they think about me.

Just one time I would like for someone in my life to completely understand why I left that table, because they feel the same way too. I was petrified, maybe if those people knew that, if you gave them what they were petrified of they would feel the same way.

I heard somewhere that 10% of people suffe from social phobia, I would love for one of them to be at that table...but no.

Thanks for reading and all the best.

Replaying in agonizing detail the last three hours. The thing with meeting up with people who are socially phobic...is that its difficult to keep things flowing without feeling awkward....but I am glad that people are brave enough to try and to give it a go. I met someone who has aspergers and OCD, very quiet.... but one of the most interesting and intelligent people I have met in a while. :)

^ So I'm guessing the meetup went pretty well then?

It's great that you were all able to do that, even if it did get awkward at times. I would expect that during a first time meetup. Are you all up for it again?
