Hey,
new here!

Kathleen!

I just found out about Social Phobia, not really sure if I do or don't have it. Leaning more towards me having it, just because I have many of the signs.
Not sure what the "average age" for the people here is, I'm a teenager, so yeah.

Oh, just wondering, do alot of ya'll have "fantasies/dreams" where you just improve your life and maybe even act them out some. Just a dream and then go with the flow, maybe making your life better then it really is?
Just wondering, haha.

Thanks!

--Kathleen.

Ohai :) I read that SA usually starts in adolescence and I think there are quite a few teenagers here. (including me, ew, angstangstangst) :p

Yes I fantasise all the time about how my life could be better. Even when I do take proactive steps, situations are so much more refined in my imagination.

Greetings to you. Such positive dreams are not something I have had. I cannot even remember my dreams anymore. Anyhow, I greet you to the forum. May you find the answers to your inquiries.

Welcome Kathleen ::p:

I think my escape when I was in middle/high school was books... and even now I occasionally like to retreat into an old favorite. Instead of making my own life fun and exciting, I would just imagine myself as a character from whatever current book I was reading and think "it would be great if I could just 'live' this story." Books make a lot of things seem easier to do than they actually are in reality.

Welcome Kathleen! :D

Do you mean if I ever daydream about my life being better? DEFINITELY, that's what I do all the time, really all the time, and I've been wondering if anyone else did the same. I daydream that I do things I would love to do, in a life I would love to live.

I now understand what people on this forum meant with fantasies and stuff. You just think/dream about how your life could be or how you want it to be, right? I do that too, but isn't that normal?

Hi Kathleen,

Also joined today and yes, "talking" does help. I'm 34 - so obvioisly not a teenager, but I remember escaping through the stories I wrote. I still play scenes in my head of favourable outcomes to difficult situations. Is called visualisation and is very helpfull!
