How has SA affected your morals?

[Iluv]

I try to do what is right. I try to know what is wrong.
As for my set of morals I have morals of course. Some just a lot of people wouldn't agree with. Perhaps it's because I hit my head one too many times.

Just SA? I don't know...
I know that depression has made me not care for much in a positive manner.
I know that it's probably mainly due to B.D.D that I hate myself. I'm focused on that.
I know that agoraphobia has made me terrified of pretty much everything.

Moral-wise... I do what I think is good and right. Maybe I'm a self-righteous person? haha
I think that as a person, I'm generally someone who wants the best for everyone but myself.
I expect nothing from anyone-- but myself.
I am an idealist. I was often described as someone who is 'too nice' but I don't understand how a person can be 'too nice'.
The rest of the world is just too mean to eachother to share my standards, I think.
It seems ridiculous that people would rather have a television in every room than give to a homeless person who is starving or foster a child who feels unwanted. Absolutely ridiculous.
I don't think that my SA has really been a factor in how I had shaped my morals as a teenager, though.

Wierdy, i dont think anyone could have put it as eloquently as you . ^ +1

SA and depression affected me in both ways, I always try to find the good side of the peoples soul, and try to understand their problems, and even always forgive them for their actions because of their problems!! but on the other when I'm in deep depression nd social phobia, I think the worst things, I lose my compassion to other people, i lose my feelings, its like I'm a zombie.
Walking down the street i think the worst things imaginable about the other persons. Even going as far as" this guy could die here and i wouldn't give a damn, piece of ****,"or "id stab him". actually its my subconscious, not really me, because i never would think like that. I feel really ashamed about me being the way I am.

I'd be surprised if it hasn't. I agree with Eric Voegelin that alienation causes people to form extremely negative and irrational impressions of society. OTOH social anxiety is not the only way for a person to become alienated, and in the scale of modern societies I think the majority of people are probably alienated in some way.

I'm slowly becoming a more empathetic person after years of being a bitter harpy.

Anyone that read that online dating thread knows that I've had to alter my morals a bit.

To explain, I used to think that I should just search for a girl to marry, but now I kind of lowered my standards and just have been looking for a woman to date even if I'm not planning on making it a super long term relationship.

I also used to be willing to wait for marriage for sex, but my SA has made me realize that I may not have sex at all if I don't take advantage of opportunities to have sex. Maybe it's partly cuz I'm a guy and the whole gender roles thing. It's harder for us cuz we gotta make it happen and things like online dating are harder because women get all those messages and they usually don't initiate. It's similar in bars and parties and stuff.

It has really made me dislike people unfortunately. I've started stereotyping all attractive/popular people of having their priorities messed up out of jealousy. I am a prisoner in my own mind and physically a voluntary prisoner in my room.

I don't think its made much of a differance, I'm a pretty moral person to begin with, though perhaps it has made me less judgemental.
