Social Anxiety Disorder or Social Phobia?
Posted on: March 1, 2013, at 01:06:44am

What do you do when something like this is effectivly ruining your life? I find it funny I never even considered this for the longest time until a therapist brought it to my attention an it's almost like having someone tell me exactly what I've gone through for the last 12+ years... Wonder what I could do to resolve this problem, before I lose my mind.

I usually try to keep my sadness pent up inside where it can fester quietly as a mental illness.

I've grown akin to it. On the internet, I suffer no social phobias or anything, but in real life, I have the "phobia", but only to the point that I can't formulate ordinary conversations with ordinary people. Like Asperger's Syndrome, sort of. It's gotten to the point that I don't really care about it anymore, and I'll just talk whichever way I feel like it to the people I choose to talk to. Amongst those lines (sorry for the wall of text, btw), if your social anxiety is so bad that you have nightmares (whether metaphorically or literally) about talking to many people, then just talk to your internet friends. Get Skype and whatnot, and start talking (not typing, SPEAKING) with them. After a while, start having video conversations with them. After that, go outside and just try to talk to other people, and you'll be surprised at how much better you've gotten. Conquering a phobia is all about progress.

Not sure if it's possible.
Drink/toke, works for me
