My problem is that I'm obsessed with perfection. I feel like I won't be happy until I have perfect looks and a perfect life.

I understand this absolutely.

Mostly, my problem is that i'm worried i'll never be happy and content with my life. Dying old and unfulfilled would be the worst thing.

Ditto to both of you.
 
My problem is that now;
when trying so very hard to go further with my future;
i feel as if I am going no where;
I am done and passed high school;
but in terms of love, and friendships;
I am lost.

My problem is my social anxiety and low self-confidence altogether.

I think I'm at a crucial point of my life where the next couple of years will be determining of how the rest of my life will go, and on which direction it will take...

It's probably impossible, but I WANT to overcome my social anxiety ASAP and get on with my life...be able to focus and do things the "normal" way...without being scared. Be able to have fun.

Meh, I guess we all want that....

I could not agree with that more. I'm 25, I had a girlfriend for the first time a couple months ago even though it only lasted a couple weeks (at least I finally got to kiss a girl). So I feel like if I don't get a serious girlfriend in the next few years I'll get to the point where I will be too old and there won't really be any left. And the ones that are left would be incredibly turned off by a guy in his late 20's that's never had a serious relationship.

While I have taken some pretty decent steps this year (like having some very good dates with my ex, I couldn't believe how talkative I was) I still feel like I'm regressing with making friends. While I'm not really nervous around people I don't know it seems like I hear more and more that I'm too quiet, I seem uncomforatable, and I never smile. A couple years ago I figured I was just shy, but now I realize I probably do have social anxiety. I just feel like if I can't break out of it in the next couple years I'm never going to.

I'm 24, so right there with you. Atleast you've already had a girlfriend. And what you said about girls being turned off with a guy in his late 20's who's never had any serious relationships, you're 100% right!

I think I'm a good looking guy in athletic shape, and I'm smart. I've got a good salary, nice job, going for a university degree and I have a car.

It's just that I'm so fucking low in my confidence and scared of women.

I have all the tools to find myself a girl, which I desperately need. I just need to overcome social anxiety, not sure how....

Too many problems
Oh why am I here
I don't need to be me
'Cos you're all too clear
And I can see
There's something wrong with you
But what do you expect me to do?
At least I gotta know what I wanna be
Don't come to me if you need pity
Are you lonely you got no one
You get your body in suspension
That's no problem, problem
Problem, the problem is you

Eat your heart out on a plastic tray
You don't do what you want
Then you'll fade away
You won't find me working
Nine to five
It's too much fun a being alive
I'm using my feet for my human machine
You won't find me living for the screen
Are you lonely all your needs catered
You got your brains dehydrated

Problem, problem
Problem, the problem is you
What you gonna do

Problem, problem

Problem, problem
Problem, the problem is you
What you gonna do with your problem
The problem is you
Problem

In a death trip I ain't automatic
You won't find me just staying static
Don't give me any orders
For people like me
There is no order

Bet you thought you had it all worked out
Bet you thought you knew what I was about
Bet you thought you'd solved all your problems
But you are the problem

Problem, problem
Problem, the problem is you
What you gonna do with your problem
I'll leave it to you
Problem, the problem is you
You got a problem
What you gonna do

They know a doctor
Gonna take you away
They take you away
And throw away the key
They don't want you
And they don't want me
You got a problem
The problem is you
Problem, what you gonna do
Problem, I'll leave it back, I have a
Problem, you got a problem

Problem, problem,
Problem, problem,
Problem, problem,
Problem, problem,
Problem, problem,
Problem, problem,
Problem, problem,
Problem

Problem, problem,
Problem

My problem is life and the quest for perfection. I feel I can't be ready to face the world unless I have what I consider the perfect body and looks. I am overly obssessed with wanting everything to be perfect.

The problem is I hate myself and everything about what makes me me. Im jealous of my sister who i think is perfect. [she can sing, she's smart, she's social, has many friends and is athletic] you hate her too, right?

The ultimate problem is I am standing in my way and blocking my potential success.

I think there are a lot of cool girls out there who would be understanding about being a virgin in your late 20's. I'm sure there are lots of girls who stay virgins until their late 20's. I know three personally! One is 26 and the other two are 28!

A lot of them may think it's cool even. If anyone asks why you don't have to tell them it's because of your SP right away. You could always just say, "I need to make sure I am comfortable enough with a person before I have sex with them, and I haven't yet met that person."

Perfectly mature and understandable thing to say.

My problem right now is a killer kidney infection, medical bills, dealing with my father on meth after his recent 5-way bypass heart surgery and trying not to love my boyfriend too much. I know he can only give so much right now and the ache for more is fueled by my own impatience. Does that make any sense??

My problem right now is that my best friend has fallen in love with me and because I don't love him back he's quitting his job and moving to Afghanistan to teach English.

I feel like shit about it.

Again,it strikes me....

I wake up feeling scared another day of living in anxiety has came.
I goes to work as usual but am afraid that i am not able to work.
My real problem is that i am afraid of broken frienships again.call me silly,foolish..everything is allright now.friends,family,work. but i just cant help to feel that my friends would go away from me. I have a supportive family,with my mum always encouraging me.I used to be afraid of going out to the streets, feeling that everyone is looking at me, seeing me as a weirdo,perhaps judging my actions,my expressions etc. The condition has gotten better but i am afraid of another stuff- broken friendships. I kept thinking of solutions to suppress the fear inside me, but right now no solution can suppress the fear inside. All the bad scenories kept flashing and repeating in my mind and i have to think of the soultions to stop.
Am i going crazy soon?I am much more fortunate than others but i just cant stop worrying.I dont know where should i go or how should i think to feel better........

my problem is i just found out that i have social phobia, and its kinda freaking me out.

all of my friends are 12-15 and im 18. everyone asks me why i hang out with kids. its becase im too afraid of people my age. and people make fun of me for it.

yesterday i thought i was talking with one of my friends online about it, and it turned out to be her older sister. and now i cant stop thinking about what she thinks of me, even though i dont know her. it has me so shaken to the point of tears.

im going to college this year, and it scares me. im going to feel alone and im not going to be able to make friends there.

My problem right now is serious loneliness... I have no friends at all, i have very poor communication with my parents and i have been made to tie the knot with a girl whose even more insecure and terrified than me... Basically my life is one big piece of hell... The only things that keep me alive are the american soap operas i watch and the office i go to... I feel like a small trembling child when i go to the office cos the people there are very nice and it really overwhelms me since i have been knocked around my entire life... I pray and pray i'll get someone to be my friend... just ask God please i'll take all the crap, all the blows and the insults i'll have sex with a girl i have no love sparks with all in exchange for someone who cares... just one person... thats all i ask... I've never felt this small in my entire life especially after i found out why i wasnt as confident as normal people are... i didnt know i had SA before and i was in really bad shape cos of that...
