I suffer from terrible social anxieties, I am scared of asking people to go on a date, or make romantic advances. I get anxious easily, and find it difficult to make conversational small talk, I worry a lot about previous conversations and social situations. I feel very nervous about meeting people, although I have become better from working in retail, and working as a reflexologist. I find it difficult to explain how my panic attacks create barriers in social situations.

I think everyone …
I think everyone has it to some degree, in variations of severity. Years ago it was called a psychosis now it’s a disorder. I have it too in some severity but I know my inner workings why I have it. Perfectionism, control freak, introvert,and stubborn. These seem separate characteristics, but I bet most SAD sufferers have them too.
Your willingness to …
Your willingness to adress a problem such as social anxiety and anxiety itself will ultimately be the biggest factor at whether you overcome it. Easier said than done but I refuse to let my life go down the drain with “lost opportunities” anymore. Great Video.

I’ve had this condition for about 8 years and i’m nearly 21. I hate it, I was just living a normal life then suddenly a certain situation involving loads of people triggered this whole thing off. I used to think I was the only person that had this as I was only aware of what I was going through but after reading some comments on this page I realise that most people have the same or a similar problem.

every anxiety can be handle
I have, or had social anxiety. Im 16 now, and im on the pill cipralex, it works incredibly well. Before when i didnt use the pill, I couldnt walk into a room, even with people that i knew well, without hyperventilating. I was really close to dropping out of school, cause I couldnt handle it anymore.
But now I love my life. I handled the anxiety, and used medicine to take it away, and ive now got a girlfriend and lots of friends. Weve been dating for almost 1 year
I have never been …
I have never been diagnosed with social anxiety disorder, but I have never been able to present/speak to groups of more than two or three people since I was an adolescent. It is my first year of college and I have thought about using beta blockers to achieve beyond what I am currently holding myself back from, does anyone here have experience with beta blockers personally?
