I don't think today I missed an oppurtunity because of my SA, I remember having a lot of days that I've been avoiding stuff, but now it's like I suprise myself constantly by the things I do, I think i just brought myself to the right direction of following the things I really want to reach :)
But still, I don't say it's not hard, it is extremely hard for me.
But I'm ready for improvement ;)

I missed out on taking the little things for granted due to SA. Which, may I add, isn't all that bad. :3

Social phobia is not keeping me from doing the things I want/need to do. But it does, however, makes them all that much more rewarding when I do do them.

Ditto, counts for pretty much every day for the past few weeks.

Kicking myself so much over it when I get back home, it won't be long before my inner self needs a fresh box of band-aids.

Pretty much everything that most people find important in life- a good career (I'm too scared to even apply for jobs even though I have my degree), meaningful relationships, or even just fun casual every day encounters with people- I don't speak unless I'm spoken to, and even with people I've known for years (coworkers and family), I find it extremely difficult to open up and talk freely.

All I do is eat, sleep, and work- no friends to call or hang out with, and even no motivation to indulge in any kind of hobbies. ::(:

I am missing out on going to the store to buy food when I should be...
I think it's equally not wanting to be in such a noisy atmosphere for so long. Really sound sensitive... Space sensitive...
Guess i'll live on apples until it gets dark/quieter out.

Hmm I don't think dwelling on what we could have/should have done will help, but whatever...

True, probably the reason why half of us are on here. Thinking too much, doing too little.

I'll answer as to what I miss out on EVERY SINGLE DAY, it's strange but anyway this is what I think that I truly miss out on.

Meeting new people and making friendships
That's an obvious one, firstly I wouldn't look so pathetic and although as the saying goes, true friends are very few and far between - especially when you are not exactly the social butterfly, I know I'd rather want real people to cherish than a virtual world with 250 "friends" on it. :)

The ability to have a enlightened conversation with people.
I may have SP and Avoidance problems but I still appreciate the art of conversing that gives us sincere understanding and connection and goes beyond the petty obligatory transactions...the "How are you?" Bleh.

I also think I miss out on just having the guts to spontaneously help out a stranger, elderly person, a person who is lost, etc I cant think right now of any more examples but you know, being a good Samaritan. I feel I'm too self absorbed in my anxiety and too oversensitive of what the person would think.
Yeah that's it.

Funny, that was the first word that came to my mind when I read the title, I open the thread, and crap, it's already there!

Apart from that, well, my sexlive is definitely not as vital as it is supposed to be ;). Not once in my life I could raise the courage to approach a girl.
