i think i have social anxiety disorder.. its really hard in school because im forever doing presentations.. in english when we are reading i have to read out loud.. sometimes i feel like crying because i cant do anything anymore.. talking on phone, going out shopping, meeting new people.. what i really hate is when i go see a coucillor they want me to speak about myself.. and i just cant
Whenever people come over i go up to my room, i havent been to the mall in probably 2 years,, i cant speak to women and havent ever had a girlfriend in my life, i dont turn in essays in my english class because i dont want my teacher to think im stupid, ive gone to one high school homecoming in my life (by myself) and stayed for about 20 minutes then left, do i have social anxiety disorder?

Theres a method i use that can work for me, and it is fuck em! but really i havent had a serious relationship in my life, im 24 and its because of this SAD i think, takin drugs hasnt helped me either
it's a very disheartening thing to realize sometimes when you find that some of your friends, family and/or other people you love and care about are affected by SAD or a similar form of this. theres a study i remember reading about recently that concerns why so many people, particularly the younger generation, are experiencing this degree of social phobia by adolescence. many ppl just aren't aware that more and more teenagers nowadays are being diagnosed with some kind of personality disorder.

A whole lot of this show seemed very relevant to the way Ive been feeling since I was about 11 years old. Im now 27. One part that struck me, was ive had the internet for 2 years now, & like was said in the show, it's much easier to sit at the screen and talk to people behind closed doors so to speal. Not anymore, I want a life, and I want to live it. Doctors appointment to be amde I think.
I use to be able to talk to people so easy!
And then one day its just like BAM! You cant talk to anybody anymore. Your affraid your gonna say somthing wrong and people are gonna think your weird. Yeah i feel just like that now =/ and i use to have soo many best friends, now i can only talk to two of them. And i have NO idea how to tell my parents about this. They just say im shy or its all in my head or somthing like that.

In school, I've heard people think I'm too quiet. I feel so awkward going to parties and I find I can't even get into a conversation with strangers. When ever I find someone I want to approach, I over think and worry how the person might perceive me. Strangely enough, the only thing I enjoy is acting so I don't have to be myself. I'm comfortable on stage if I'm too focused on work. Gosh, now college!
