Hey other forum users,
I'm 19 and from a small town in BC and have been living with some form of social anxiety since about middle school. When I was younger it was something so stupid and neurotic as being afraid and avoiding to eat in a classroom, to now where I have semi-panic attacks when I go to parties or even talk to strangers (especially women I find attractive).
I initially wanted to find some info on the causes of SA and - ironically, try to avoid it and see if that made my life any better, but I stumbled on to this site yesterday and read a lot of the threads that were up and found that I related to a lot of the situations and reactions many others have done. I found this forum to be helpful and wanted to join in the conversation.
Cheers!
