Well, I don't have severe social anxiety, and I've been drudging through it for 7 years with no medication. My biggest problem is that I can't form lasting relationships with people cause I get awkward and start over-analyzing everything in the friendship. Those people that I am with, are not CLOSE friends.. And I'm drinking alcohol, which makes my anxiety go away. :roll:

False. Only good looking ppl are willing to post their pics and some using myspace angles.

Quick conclusion. SPs are self-described as persons who dont like to be watched.

People edit/deleted many links in this thread quite often, so did me.
I dont get it how did you remmber my face after i deleted link long ago.

When i look al those pics i can really tell a difference between SPer and non-SPers from all pics i have seen. You can almost always find that insecured and not self-aproved low-esteemed look in the eye to a certain degree. Ofcousre, when you feel totally down you will not upload/publish that picture nowhere.

@Coriander - you look real confident here. Bravo!

I tend to be more confident around my friends than I would be in any other situation anyway.

What is your point? You don't have one.

I just noticed that people who are good looking are more willing to post their pic's...why do you think that is?

Because they are less likely to receive negative feedback or someone not even commenting on their picture. When people say, "nice pic", they usually are just being nice to someone that is unattractive looking.

I'mnot really contributing to the discussion you two were having but just felt like commenting on this.

I can always tell the difference too. Sometimes we can look quite happy in a photo and look like we belong but you can usually see through the eyes to the suffering that's going on inside. Myself, I wouldn't post any pics where I look plain uncomfortable. I'm assuming people post pics where they feel like they are representing who they really are inside rather then outside. I posted a few pics here where I was comfortable, one was during a trip to cuba where I had little anxiety because i knew anyone I encountered wouldnever see me again after a week, and the other was after a long depressing night at a social event on the way home. Away from all those people I finally felt myself again so the picture reflects me, I wouldn't post a pic of myself while I was there because it would show a completely different person. I could post about 5 different pics here all showing a completely completely different person. The one consistent element is the suffering in our eyes from photo to photo.

We are chamelions. We change to blend into each setting we are met with.
You also pointed out how people here remove their photos, and I don't think it is because they don't want to be see. The pictures they post here are likely images of themselves they are comfortable with and want the world to know, so I don't think they mind strangers seeing them. They remove them when they worry that someone that knows them in reality might see a different version of them and disapprove.

You can't tell as much as you think you can from a picture.

Somebody said to me once that I can't have SA because i'm around people...well hello SA affects everybody differently.
For example, SA doesen't affect me at school, but anywhere else it does massively, hence why I don't look to scared in that last pic I suppose.
Who is anybody to say somebody else does or does not have SA!!?? :roll:

(That was not directed at anybody in particular btw :wink: )
