And a girl asked about what kind of jobs would be suitable for someone suffering from Social Anxiety Disorders. I found some of the responses to be rather telling of how some outsider generally perceive social anxiety.
One person responded:
"I thought s.a.d. was seasonal affective disorder, where you get some depression during the winter months due to less exposure to sunlight..." This person obviously had no idea what she was even talking about.
Another person responded: "i would get medication to get rid of s.a.d. come on, society doesnt bite! Not to be insensitive but you should try to get rid of it."
This person made it sound as if social anxiety is some nasty bug that you can pop a few pills and get rid of.
There were some other helpful responses, but I just found those two interesting as they seemed to sum up the way many of the people I've encountered respond to social anxiety.
