8.Do you use meds? (if yes, what kind?) Yes. Clonazepam for panic attacks and Lexapro for OCD and depression.
9.Do you go to therapy? (if yes, what kind?) Yes. I need CBT, but I don't think the Counseling Center here provides that. I talk to an extremely intellectual woman that's helpful and understanding, but I don't think any of the counselors there are qualified to help someone of my conditions. They usually help people with alcoholism and marriage problems.

11.Do you have good support from your inforement? Some days.

23.Are you afraid of the supermarket? Yes, sometimes. I've gotten better with it over the years, but before, I couldn't leave my house to check the mail without having a breakdown. I dropped out of school because I couldn't handle it. Going to the store was just as hard at times.
24.Are you afraid of making phone calls? Yes. Always have been.
25.Where you bullied in your youth? Yeah, in school. Typical girls making fun of me all the time and threatening to beat me up.

33.What makes you feel confident? (c'mon.. dont be shy.. tell us): Honestly? Nothing. Except maybe my intelligence, but that's only because I'm comparing it to the morons that live in this sh*thole of a town. Compared to college graduates and way beyond that, I'm nothing.
34.Are you depressed? Yes.
35.Do you believe in god? No.
36.Are you open about your problems, or do you prefer hiding them? and fake a smile? Depends on person and situation. I'm open with my family and people I trust. While in public (which is rare), I fake a smile most of the time.

40.Do you do sport? No, I'm fat.

41.Do you like art? Yes, but I'm not artistic at all. It's kind of disappointing having no talent.
42.Are you a social person? ( without the SA part...??) Not particularly.
43.Do you like animals? Love them more than humans.

49.Do you got the motivation to get out of SA? and to do ''more'' social stuff? I've had days where I want to just say "f*ck it all, I'm living", but it's a lot easier said than done. It's much easier to sit at home, sulk, and feel sorry for myself.
50.Are you optimistic? Quite the contrary. I'm a pessimist by nature.

51.Do you have problems with showing and seeing ''emotions''? Sometimes I do.
52.What makes you feel relaxed? Peaceful music, deep breathing, meditating (I need to master this), reassurance that I'm not dying.

11.Do you have good support from your inforement?

20.Do you drink? smoke?
No, never tried and never will.

21.Are you introvert of extrovert?
Introvert, definitely.

22.Do you have any more disorders?
I'm a little bit OC. Everything has to be placed in its right place with the logos facing me. I always wanna do things perfectly, otherwise I'm not proud of myself and I feel dirty. I check the door many times to see if it's locked.

23.Are you afraid of the supermarket?
I haven't stepped in one since I was a little kid. Does that answer your question?

It depends on what you need to be confident for. This question is too large to answer.

Yes, it never goes away.

I don't want to believe in him because if he exists then it means I'm just a puppet who doesn't have control over his destiny.

I was a good hockey and soccer player before having SA. Not anymore.

41.Do you like art?
I don't do art but I can enjoy it.

42.Are you a social person? ( without the SA part...??)
Really not.

43.Do you like animals?
I like, but not bugs and snakes.

44.Are you friendly?
If you're nice with me and I'll be friendly with you.

45.How would you describe yourself?
My heart is too pure so I'm affected by all of the world's stupidity.

46.Do you have suicidal thoughts?
No, work on yourself and try to understand this world instead of doing that. It's stupid.

47.Do you have trouble eating in front of other's?
YES. I don't ever want someone else to watch me eat. I always eat discreetly and slowly to make sure I don't look stupid when I eat.

48.Do you feel accepted by your inforement?
Again, what's that?

49.Do you have the motivation to get out of SA? and to do ''more'' social stuff?
Motivation is useless when you have SA. You need to find something else to kick your butt.

50.Are you optimistic?
This world is finished. There's nothing you can do to fix it. It's too late. It's all over. Humans have destroyed this planet and now they wanna do the same in space.

51.Do you have problems with showing and seeing ''emotions''?
I fake it.

52.What makes you feel relaxed?
Playing video games and watching movies.

53.Do you have panic attacks as well?
No, I've never had one. Don't even know how it's like.

54.Do you think you have to act and do things perfect?
Yes.

55.Do you think people stare at you in social places? (if yes, why??)
Definitely. I think all the girls are looking at me, seriously. My friend said I'm crazy and I just imagine this. Am I?

56.Do you know how to act like a confident person??
I don't think you can act that. You either are or you're not.

57.Have you ever given a speech?
Like what? An oral presentation? Yes. You are forced to do that in skool.

58.Do you like walking in the park?
I never leave my house.

59.Do you think you are interesting to other people?
I have SA, which means I have no life, which means I don't ever do anything, which means I have nothing to talk about and share with them, which means I'm boring.

60.What is the negative judge you guess from people?
I don't understand this question.

[Phoenixx]

1. How old are you?
17. Will be 18 in April.

2. Are you male/female?
Female

3. Do you have SA?
Yes

4. How bad is your SA on a scale from 1 to 100?
Tough to say exactly... I think I'm gonna guess... 75 - 80?

5. Are you diagnosed with Social Anxiety?
Not officially, no.

6. Are you shy?
Yes, very.

7.What makes you anxious?
The thought of people watching me, talking to people I don't know face to face, being alone in crowds, giving speeches, talking on the phone, the list goes on...

8. Do you use meds? (if yes, what kind?)
Nope

9. Do you go to therapy? (if yes, what kind?)
Not yet. I do plan on doing some counseling/therapy when I go to college this fall.

10. Since when did your SA start?
Hmm... About 12 or 13 I think...

11. Do you have good support from your inforement?
What do you mean?

12. Do you actually like doing social stuff?
No, not really.

13. Do you have friends?
Yes

14. Do you have online friends?
Yeah

15. Where do you feel safe, and not anxious at all?
I feel the safest and never anxious when I'm in my room. Sometimes being around my family makes me a little anxious, but it's nothing big.

16. Do you work, go to school?
I go to school. Don't have a job.

17. Do you have a relationship?
I wish.

18. Do you believe you can overcome SA? (or do you only hope so?)
I hope and believe I can overcome SA. ::

19. What are your hobbies?
Reading, being on the computer for hours at a time, playing video games, listening to music, watching tv, that's basically it.

20. Do you drink? smoke?
I do neither.

21. Are you introvert or extrovert?
Definitely introvert.

22. Do you have any more disorders?
Not really. I believe I have partial AVPD too, but it's not that severe. I can manage.

23. Are you afraid of the supermarket?
No actually. I manage quite well shopping on my own.

24. Are you afraid of making phone calls?
Yes!

25. Were you bullied in your youth?
Yeah, still teased a bit sometimes.

26. Are you a quiet person?
Yes. Always have been.

28. Do you blush alot?
So much! I can't stand it!

29. What makes you really happy?
Being able to talk to people without feeling anxious, like today. :] I had such a great day, I hardly had any anxiety. It was awesome.

30. Do you hardly make friends?
No, I eventually make friends. It just takes me sooo long to warm up to people. Once I do warm up a little bit, I can make friends. It's getting to the best friend "I can talk to you about everything and anything" stage that's so difficult for me.

31. Does your family know about your SA?
Not a clue.

32. Did you ever visited a doctor?
Not for my SA, no.

33. What makes you feel confident? (c'mon.. dont be shy.. tell us)
Straightening my hair. So superficial I know. :: And wearing brand new clothes.

34. Are you depressed?
Yeah, it comes and goes though.

35. Do you believe in god?
Yes

36. Are you open about your problems, or do you prefer hiding them? and fake a smile?
I am constantly hiding my problems. Actually I hide almost everything about me. Some of my friends only know half of who I am because I'm afraid if they knew all of who I was, they'd basically reject me and make fun of me.

37. Do you have a good sense of humour?
I think so...

38. Are you happy with your looks?
No :/

39. What kind of music do you like?
Indie, punk, hard rock, post-hardcore, and metal.

40. Do you do sports??
Nah. Never been much of a sports person. I'd rather watch. ::

41.Do you like art?
Of course :]

42.Are you a social person? ( without the SA part...??)
You mean, like, around friends and family? Yeah definitely.

43. Do you like animals?
Love them.

44. Are you friendly?
Yeah. I can seem so standoffish though when I'm anxious, but really. I'm a friendly person. :]

45. How would you describe yourself?
Short, really shy, and basically a geek. Oh and I have my quirks.

46. Did you have suicidal thoughts?
I wouldn't say complete suicidal thoughts, but sometimes when I'm really depressed, I wonder how many people really care about me. If I died, would anyone really care? But shortly after I think these thoughts, I always think, yeah at least someone would care.

47. Have you trouble eating in front of others?
Other people I don't know, yeah.

48. Do you feel accepted by your inforement?
What?

49.Do you got the motivation to get out of SA? and to do ''more'' social stuff?
Every once in a great while.

50.Are you optimistic?
Yeah, I can be.

51. Do you have problems with showing and seeing ''emotions''?
I’ve never had a problem seeing emotion, but I’ve always had great difficulty in expressing it myself.

52. What makes you feel relaxed?
Listening to music, reading, or watching a movie.

53. Do you got panic attacks as well?
I don’t get them often, but when I do get them, they only occur at night. Why? I don’t know.

54. Do you think you have to act and do things perfect?
Yes! God I hate it. It seems like, if I don’t do it good enough, then it’s not worth it. Why do I think like this? I’ve tried so hard to just break myself of it, and I just can’t.

55. Do you think people stare at you in social places? (if yes, why??)
Yeah. Why? Because I’m weird.

56. Do you know how to act like a confident person??
Sometimes

57. Do you ever gave a speech?
Yes. All through high school, up until junior year, every English class of all grades were expected to do speeches. Then out of those English classes, they would pick the few that were the best, and then the school would have a speaking contest. Whoever won got to go to the County Speaking Contest. If they won that, they would go to States. I can tell you I have never won, nor did I want to. Speaking was bad enough for me for a tiny class. I didn’t need to talk to the whole school or hundreds of people! O.O

58. Do you like walking in the park?
I don’t really care, actually.

59. Do you think you are interesting to other people?
Doubt it. But I find myself interesting.

60. What is the negative judge you guess from people?
"You’re ugly, you’re weird, you’re stupid..." just the usual comments I’ve heard before. I guess I think that since other people have said them to me, everyone else must think the same.
