Does anyone feel their location has played a part in shaping their social anxiety?
When I was a kid, I lived further away from my friends and classmates, and they all lived in a kind of cluster, very close to each other in the centre of town.
As a result when I was growing up, I often missed out on things from parties to spontaneous gatherings because it was always more difficult for me to get into town and even harder to get back home if people were planning on staying out late.
Has anyone here grown up on say, the outskirts of a town or city or even a more rural area, away from activity centres & friends etc and felt it's had a negative impact on you when you were growing up?
