what would you do?

[Lorraine Manca]

If you decided to live with social anxiety or the fact that your just on a different page than everyone else and accepted it and didnt fight it, how would you live your life to the fullest? Obviously it woundn't be the traditional job, house, family, social life equation, or fitting in, because that is difficult for us.
I really want to know. How would you live if you didnt have to worry about achieving normality or becoming comfortable with the uncomfortable?

I realized a short while ago that you can't just live with your condition. In my case, its OCD, and I always thought I'd be able to just manage and get by with it or it would eventually go away. But I think the longer you live with some disorders, the harder it eventually will be to get rid of. In the mean time, you're just digging yourself into a hole.

I want to move on for this and I just want it to end. I've been working o it recently, and I hope I'm at least on my way.

Exactly, well said!

I visualise my life in that context would be:

1. Working in a non-customer service job, eg factory job, own a website business at home.
2. May live with my parents until they die (if they are ok with it). Help them pay the bills.
3. Socialise through the internet, form friendships and connections in a way that I can control my disclosure and committment at anytime.
4. Enjoy my endless time on my hobbies.

But I think we can't escape confronting anxiety in life....It may be good for us to go out there and have a try sometimes... a little

oh yeah guys I know, you have to confront your problems and all that. Its just an exercise in imagination.

I think I would probably just live as I already do. I fake things up to a point so that I can get by and be successful, but when it comes to having close friendships, I'll just be a solitary person.

Pretty lonely life, but then I would make up for it with my career and hobbies.
