From this moment on, I will do anything to get over my SA. I'll make it my number one priority. Each day I wake up, I'll think of one thing I can do this day to get over my SA. It can be a small thing like calling a friend on the phone and talk for a couple of minutes. Saying "hi" to a person I don't know. Saying a couple of words in a group. Things like that. I'll take one day at a time.

It has to stop NOW! I've had enough!

Who's up for a challenge??!!! Let me know what YOU did today (or will do tomorrow) to get rid of this freaking life destroying devil! :twisted:

I've been on the offensive against Social Phobia for the past few months. I had just had enough of it taking over my life. Doing something positive every day is totally achievable, even if it's something like making encouraging or positive comments on this forum.

It really breaks my heart to see positive comments people make get shot down in flames. Life can be pretty dark at times. It's good to strike a match now and then, let some light into the old place...

Making (hopefully) positive comments here in the internet is about the only thing that lifts my spirits up sometimes.

I hope any of my comments make a difference. I really do try to share things that I think might help those who are just as affected by SA (or worse) than me, which I never would've thought was so common. Most of this forum is pretty cool though.

"You're never alone" is so true.

The long way

This is more or less what a do.
I´ve got a list where I write my main objective; for example: overcoming anxiety, be more sociable or something similar.
Then, I write in order different steps could me help to get the main objective. (they are order by their lever of difficulty)
That is, greeting a dog in the street, smiling and greeting a baby in the street......so up to more difficult steps: meeting with a friend, greeting and asking something to a partner at work.

I´m going slowly but sure.

Ah! If you can do a certain achievement you can try visualizing for some days before you do it in the reality.

See you! :idea:

If your social anxiety is that bad, how did you get a girlfriend?

see I want to be on the offensive. I feel though it may not do anything. Saying hi randomly to people? Go to a club? Get nothing but dirty looks and create nothing but trouble? Why even try? It will only make things worse.
