57.Do you ever gave a speech? Yes. If I know exactly what I'm going to say, I have no problem with it: it's like having power over an audience or people, and not them having power over you. If I'm not prepared, then it's a huge struggle.
58.Do you like walking in the park? Not especially, which is sad.
59.Do you think you are interesting to other people? Not personally, but enough people think I'm interesting, so it's a confidence thing I have to overcome.
60.What is the negative judge you guess from people? Freak, ugly, loser, etc. Should turn off those feelings, or at least turn the thought around to something like - 'Be proud to be a freak, then! Shove it in their face'. I don't know how to turn it off, and usually the anxiety makes me forget to turn it over to a positive spin. The reality could be I'm being looked at because I'm very attractive, but without confirmation who knows? And being hypersensitive forces me to care about what total strangers think, go figure...

[Illusions]

Ah, what the hell, since I have nothing else to do...


1.How old are you? I turn 20 this year.
2.Are you male/female? Female.
3.Do you have SA? I think so, however what mostly affects me is Avoidant Personality Disorder.

5.Are you diagnosed with Social Anxiety? No.
6.Are you shy? Yes, to some extent.
7.What makes you anxious? Having to live up to people's expectations, and males around my age. *sigh*
8.Do you use meds? (if yes, what kind?) No, I don't like to depend on them.
9.Do you go to therapy? (if yes, what kind?) No, though I plan to.
10.Since when did your SA start? I was around 13 years old. All my life, actually, if me being selectively mute when I was a kid counts.

11.Do you have good support from your inforement? Uh, what exactly is an inforement?
12.Do you actually like doing social stuff? When I'm not feeling particularly anxious, then yes.
13.Do you have friends? Yes.
14.Do you have online friends? Yes.
15.Where do you feel safe, and not anxious at all? In the company of people I'm familiar with and in places that aren't very crowded.
16.Do you work, go to school? Working for now, will continue with school in July.
17.Do you have a relationship? No.
18.Do you believe you can overcome SA? (or do you only hope so?) I don't think I can completely overcome it, though I'm very sure I can make it less serious.
19.What are your hobbies? Way too many to list! Listening to music, randomly surfing the net, travelling, etc.
20.Do you drink? smoke? I drink occasionally. I don't smoke.

21.Are you introvert of extrovert? This is where it gets complicated. I like being alone, but at the same time I also like being around people when I feel like I can get along with them (anxiety level at a low). Also I love clubbing and such.
22.Do you have any more disorders? AvPD, and possibly BDD.
23.Are you afraid of the supermarket? No.
24.Are you afraid of making phone calls? No.
25.Where you bullied in your youth? I was teased for being the one who rarely spoke.
26.Are you a quiet person? Around people I barely know, yes. Then again it depends on who the person is.

28.Do you blush alot? I don't think so.
29.What makes you really happy? My loved ones, though I can't say I'm all that happy now.
30.Do you hardly make friends? I make acquaintances just fine, making close friends is the tough part.

31.Does your family know about your SA? I don't think so.
32.Did you ever visited a doctor? And mentioned SA? Yes, but he was a clueless old geezer, and he compared me to some nutjob that stabbed a professor at a local university who apparently also had SA. *facepalm*
33.What makes you feel confident? Getting praised for my abilities/appearance. Not that I necessarily believe it all the time...
34.Are you depressed? It's cyclical. I feel confident, somehow I end up feeling depressed, and then I go back to feeling normal.
35.Do you believe in god? No.
36.Are you open about your problems, or do you prefer hiding them? and fake a smile? I hide them all. I put on a false front.
37.Do you have a good sense of humour? I suppose? I'm not the joker type though.
38.Are you happy with your looks? I don't like some things about myself.
39.What kind of music do you like? I try to appreciate all genres of music, though rap music isn't really my thing.
40.Do you do sport?? Sure, though I'm not necessarily good at it.

41.Do you like art? I can't draw or appreciate art that much, unfortunately.
42.Are you a social person? Without SA I'm sure I'd be pretty sociable.
43.Do you like animals? Love them!
44.Are you friendly? I'd say I am, though I don't appear so.
45.How would you describe yourself? I'm a walking contradiction.
46.Did you have suicidal thoughts? No.
47.Have you trouble eating in front of other's? No.
48.Do you feel accepted by your inforement? Again, what's an inforement?
49.Do you got the motivation to get out of SA? and to do ''more'' social stuff? Yes, usually my will to get out there overpowers my anxiety.
50.Are you optimistic? Not as much as I used to be. Reality check, y'know?

51.Do you have problems with showing and seeing ''emotions''? I don't like to show people my vulnerable side. I'm fine with emotional displays though.
52.What makes you feel relaxed? Listening to music while on a long bus ride/lying in bed/taking a walk on a nice, cooling day. That always does the trick.
53.Do you got panic attacks aswell? No.
54.Do you think you have to act and do things perfect? I'm usually too hard on myself for screwing up, even though it's completely normal.
55.Do you think people stare at you in social places? (if yes, why??) Yes, sometimes. No idea why.
56.Do you know how to act like a confident person?? I suppose that would be to walk confidently, maintain eye contact and talk to people firmly?
57.Do you ever gave a speech? No, though I have spoken into a microphone in front of my school.
58.Do you like walking in the park? Yes (how is this relevant to SA?).
59.Do you think you are interesting to other people? Not really. I feel like only a handful of people understand me.
60.What is the negative judge you guess from people? I sometimes assume the worst of them. A bad habit I have to get rid of.
