What's your greatest fear?

What is your greatest fear? What really sends you into a full blown SA attack?

Mine has to do with being in a classroom or a meeting with more than 5 people (who I may or may not know) and having the instructor or facilitator say the words “ lets go around the room and have everyone introduce themselves” Usually they are looking for a little more info than simply stating your name. I can’t adequately describe the fear I feel in this situation and nothing sends my SA through the roof more than this.

My biggest fear at the moment is growing into a lonely old lady with no friends. I have lived in complete isolation for the last 10 years with very little contact with people.

I also fear that when I die I will die alone in my flat and no one will know I am there as no one will miss me.

Mostly public transport, but any kind of transport will do it to me. Even flying... I'll see the queues at the toilets and think oh no... what if!

My biggest fear(and by god there are so many of them) but in terms of SP it would have to be one on one with any person of the opposite sex, cause everytime I talk to a girl I go bright red in the face, and seeing as I got red hair too, it doesnt help much :) and does anyone of you remember in school where your teacher says "Ok everyone go find someone to partner up with" I would dread them, so I would just sit there and do nothing. Its horrible

I am afraid of women's boobs. :oops: Something about them terrifies me. :cry: Every time I am around a woman, I start thinking: "Boobs in the room, stay calm, don't panic, everything is going to be ok, don't run away, breathe deep." 8O

Yep, same thing here. Public transport is fine for me tho. That's one of the reasons I'm even more scared of eating out nowadays, coz I feel like I'm going to throw up everytime and there's no toilets nearby. Once, about two years ago, I went to this chinese restaurant, my anxiety hit, ate a bit, walked outside and chucked my guts up right out the front, almost all over this girl who was walking past at the time. Soooo embarassing. :oops: I jes said "I'm so sorry" or something.

Other fears with regard to SA are meeting new people, especially girls, not very good with that. :oops: I jes feel inferior, like I know they're gonna think I'm a loser and that I'm not good enough for them etc etc.

LilMissTragic,

I am a girl, and in high school a bunch of the girls in my high school started spreading this nasty rumor that I stared at their breasts. When I finally heard the rumor, I was so terrified and horrified that everybody thought this terrible thing about me. I realized that I couldn't relax and be myself without unknowingly causing offense, that I just started to become uptight around women.

So, if I were in a room with you, I would be desperately trying to keep my eyes from looking at your breasts.

Does that make sense? What CAN I DO to get BETTER??? HELP! ANY advice would be appreciated.

Sweet Nothings.
