Have you ever tried to take control of something and be in the lead? Well i tried to take someone to a college club and we ended up getting lost because of me, he kept saying "stop being shy", got awkward eye contact with people, and short conversations. :( I could write a show like "Crub your enthusium" but not exactly. I just feel like every day it's disaster after disaster like that show :( lol. Hbu?

Try telling him you have SA and make him understand. He should be supporting you not putting you down.

many people don't know what SA is. they probably don't even know it exists. even when it comes to personality, people aren't very good at accepting the fact that not everyone is sociable. anyway, i've tried being in the lead. & when my courage doesn't fall short until the end of the activity, i usually pull through

I tried to look brave too but ended up all stiff and paralyzed. Today I even had a dream about trying to act brave. I was in a supermarket and near the entrance, there was a group of religious people singing. At first I ignored them. Later, I had to pass through them so I tried fitting in by singing with them. Then I couldn't move at all. I tried to break away but everytime my anxiety tells me to stay at that spot.

When you said you got lost, I thought it was referring to getting lost physically on the journey there lol.

Hey, don't disregard your experience quickly. Say to yourself that "It didn't go well but at least I took the initiative and went down." You did well to take the lead, I can't even do that atm.

I'm glad you are able to pull through the activity :) still trying to get there myself.

You had sa in your dream, but it was only half your dream. It seems like you wanna try new things. :)
