G'day

Yes, I like my birds glowing bright like embers and my shrimps hot straight off tha kaboosh. Victoria Bitters is the shiznit. I like to drive home drunk, be loud and obnoxious, and cause big accidents in the process. *kidding*

No I'm not from Adelaide. Just plain old Melbourne.

how bad are u 2? i can hide my social anxiety if i drink, otherwise my heart races i feel like there's something wrong with me. My partner is very social, he has a lot of mates and he can't have them around bcos of me, i always feel bad bcos he can't do what he want's to in his own house. I keep being called by his mates a 'snob' or a '*****'. I hide in the bedroom if they're around, i don't mean 2 be that way and i try to explain it to Sean but he gives me **** about it as well. Do either of you have that problem?

Hey NicoleSA.. I'm from Adelaide too! Im new to this site, and I can relate to alot of what you say. I also use alcohol as a way to cope with SA but every other time im the shy sorta bloke. Its easy for people to take it the wrong way, but your partners mates sound like tools (no offence). I get the same treatment from my parents who live in Darwin. They pretty much think im a anti-social lout. What do you do?

Hey your bf gives you **** about it? I could tolerate his mates and all, but I wouldn't be able to do it if my girlfriend was like that. My ex was, and that lasted all of about 2months lol.

I do the same thing with my partners mates. Ive asked him what his mates think of me. He wont tell me. Im only comfortable with one of his mates and he lives in QLD.
But I was told by an ex once that some people called me a snob.

the internet is easy for me to use to socialise as doing so in person is really hard and im really looking for some friends so i searched for some anxiety related sites so that people i meet will understand where i am coming from so here i am on this site now! hehe

Adelaide seems like a fun place. So does Melbourne. Sadly, I am a few thousand miles to the east. G'day from the States, mates.

SADuser · 07-12-2009, 08:24 AM

Hey Nicole, I couldn't pass up the opportunity of replying to a fellow South Australian, so my first post goes out to you. Signed up a few days ago. Hiding in my bedroom is a big habbit of mine also, especially with guests around. I can't simply walk out, and pass one without contemplating the thought before hand. I surprisingly don't drink much though, would you recommend it?

ccoop · 07-19-2009, 01:40 AM

Hi everybody, another one from Adelaide here. I can definately relate to what everyone has posted. Whenever I go out I can never relax and have a good time until I've had a few drinks.
