How bad is your SA?

[user12053]

I only have problems with groups and people I don't know 8O

me too , even when is a group of known people, and situations of stress, possible fights or when i need to confront a argument, things like this...

when i'm one by one with someone i know for a fair amount of time i'm alright, but sometimes i do restrain myself to try not being "against" someone, or fit someone expectation.

it's complex... basically always with someone i don't know and groups, and sometimes with people i know.

but i never get a anxiety attack or panic (but today i think i almost passed out)

it happens when i am in a group of people, sometimes with people i know or unknown. And i got anxious when it comes tests or i feel the pressure for solving something.

My SA is usually only triggered when I encounter people that I'm intimidated by - which is mostly just 'alpha males' and certain types of girls my own age. Basically people that I'm afraid will pass negative judgement on myself.

So bad that I want to die.

If it's that bad, it can only get better...

Bad enough to keep me from having a career - how the hell do you keep a job if you can't speak with your boss?

Bad enough to keep me from ever going out on a date.

My car works only because I know a repair shop nearby that accepts orders by email and has a key-drop and -pickup deal with a nearby gas station. I can handle the gas station staff, they don't ask questions.

How bad is that? I don't really know. Could be worse, could certainly be better too! It certainly makes life complicated.
