Re: Social Anxiety - has it affected you? Your score: 55 (fear) + 67 (avoidance) = 122 = Very severe social phobia Nothing that I din't already know. In the past I had always said that I'm shy. But I realized, that nowadays to beeing "Shy" is like the guy, sitting in a bar and say to the Women he want's to pick up. "I'm Shy." So I said I'm extremly Shy. Until I saw in the German Wikipedia the article about Social Anxiety Disorder/Social Phobia. And now I know the technical term for what is wrong with me.  I'm a Hikikomori because of Social Anxiety.

Re: Social Anxiety - has it affected you? When people are depressed its only natural that they'd make it sound worse than it is, because that's what they are feeling... The problem itself may not be as important as the way people cope with this problem. When they are depressed or in a generally bad mood their problems seem insurmountable and so when they try explaining it, it would sound exaggerated to a neutral outsider. Also... its possible that people may receive some sort of small pleasure in reading about the problems of others, because they can relate to them... so this may encourage them to post "similar" problems as others in order to feel like "part of the group". Or they might simply enjoy seeing other people who are in a worse position than they are so they make "depressed" posts to also encourage more people to do the same

Re: Social Anxiety - has it affected you? I seem to have developed a nervous habit of clawing my arm to hell. When I'm with people I don't know (say, a party where I only know 2 or 3 people) I tend to just sit in a corner and watch. But lately I've been scratching my arm subconsciously to where it bleeds, and I dig my nails into my skin - nearly creating crescent puncture wounds - whenever someone I don't know tries talking to me.
Now there's this ugly little scar from it :/

Re: Social Anxiety - has it affected you? I suppose it's partly what makes me so reclusive.  But my social anxiety developed due to the high proportion of annoying people in my school, as I was very trusting and fairly happy before then, I was still a bit socially awkward, and enjoyed spending time alone, but it had never affected me, but then obviously I stood out a lot in my high school, and I guess I ended up getting negative attention... I mainly get it when I'm with people my age, and when I have to interact with people a bit too much

Re: Social Anxiety - has it affected you? The last post I made about being at a party made me feel anxious right now. So yeah, it affects me still,  . I start to feel like I'm treading water, just barely keeping my head above the waves.

Re: Social Anxiety - has it affected you? If it wasn't for social anxiety (or avoidant personality disorder, that's my official diagnosis but those two are very similar anyway), I would probably be sleeping already because I'd have to wake up for work or school... But... as it is, I'm here, because I don't have those kind of responsibilities, as I haven't been able to gain those because of social fears.
So definitely it has affected me... often I realise that I am alone, because I'm so afraid of people. I'm afraid of my neighbours, relatives, random people on streets. Not being able to achieve things in my life because there is social interaction everywhere, I wonder where it leads. Even now, I fear what will happen when the time that my father dies comes (I live with him now), how will I be able to make phone calls and appointments to arrange his funeral...

Re: Social Anxiety - has it affected you? I'm always paranoid of people around me, wondering if they're staring at me, thinking bad thoughts about me or judging me completely. I absolutely hate eating in front of others because I feel like they think I'm being a complete fatass or something. It's really tiring being around people so I like to stay in and be by myself. I can't even hang out with my friends without thinking that they always talk shit behind my back.

Re: Social Anxiety - has it affected you? I use to be that way in school. Omg, I use to never eat at lunch and my stomach would growl throughout class, which would be embarrassing. I think it had to do with moving to a completely new state feeling alienated (which started my social anxiety) and feeling vulnerable to showing how I eat in front of people, not that there's anything wrong or weird about the way I eat, but the way I seen it was its something just as simple as laughing or talking that exposes yourself to people.
