You know what meow, obviously you are offended because I hit a nerve
but on the other hand if you read my posts very carefully, you
would see that what I am saying to you is not so much of an insult
but rather a compliment. Because basically I am saying is that
you are too pretty and you go out to restaurants too much to
have SA. People with Social Anxiety DO NOT GO OUT. And if they
do like myself, it's once in a while and it hurts them to go out. Or
they go out only in extreme emergency cases like their hungry
or something but other than that people with real SA do not go out
OR they are extremely nervous and self conscious and very
uncomfortable when they go out so they stay home like the rest
of this forum
So everyone who has YOUR anxiety disorder has to behave exactly like YOU do they?
I play in a band where I sing on stage all the time, something that I happen to know a lot of people are tremendously afraid of.
But I am scared to death of talking to groups of people, even a few people in an informal group.
I engage in avoidance behaviour so that I don't have to deal with it. It has affected my job and my social life tremendously.
My therapist told me I have social anxiety and we are currently doing CBT and exposure therapy to help me with it.
Just because someone may be "uninhibited" in one way, doesn't mean that they AREN'T ALLOWED to be anxious in other social situations.
As Meow has already mentioned, what about the celebrities who have some form of social anxiety but have no problem getting up on stage? Michael Jackson, Carly Simon are some who spring to mind.
You are so goddamned judgemental it makes my head spin!
Just because Meow does not exhibit her symptoms of SA exactly like you do, it doesn't mean her problem is any less important than yours.
