Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum and would like to tell you about my problem.
I have severe social phobia sypmtoms like missing lessons at school because I would have to talk to my friends. I avoid meeting them out of school as soon as possible and telling them lies in order not to hang out with them when they want me to join them. This is because I am mostly shy and silent, but I have a group of friends with whom I am really very outgoing and talkative. I can't understand why I am shy among certain people and can't find anything to talk and drown in my own silence.
There is a boy whom I have strong feelings for. We met on icq last year and seen each other twice. I was again silent then and he was talking without taking a break and he must have noticed how different I am on msn and in real life. As he feels proud of his being talkative and tell me about that, I feel myself so weak.I have also realized that I can't cope with my inferiority complex when by his side. It may be the main reason I feel weak and silly when I am talking to him; the thoughts that he is much better and intelligent than me invades my mind and I can't concentrate on what he says and what I should say. I once drank couple beers before meeting him to lessen my anxiety.
Does anyone have a similar problem to mine? I want to hear your comments on my situation and get help to feel more comfortoble among certain people I have mentioned above.
