Social Anxiety Support. Now I see more point in offering support.
With that said this wasn't always my main aim, but helping others when you're down inherently makes you feel better as well, whether you set out to help people for that purpose or not is different again.

To get support on my journey to overcome social anxiety, and maybe make a few friends along the way

I come here to blow off steam, pass the time, procrastinate, relate to others, entertainment. Relating to others is very difficult. It's not as difficult on here.

Same here and adding on: talking to people via PMs and visitor messages. Always fun to get and reply.

I joined because I have social anxiety. I've never really met anyone in person that has it. So I thought that it would be really cool to talk to people that can relate. Making friends, learning how to overcome my disorder, and killing time?

I'm here to become better at communicating with other people. However I rarely have the guts to take part of any conversation/discussion here, so I guess in the end I'm just procrastinating here

Same here.

These forums have helped me feel a lot better about myself in my very short time participating here. I've been a bit less enthusiastic about posting and participating lately though. After I get over this, I'll participate just to help.


Joining these forums was nothing short of life changing for me.

To share science with others. To have a source of communication with others that I would not otherwise have.

It felt good to be with people who were like me, and whee I could maybe get rid of it or something. It feels good to talk with people without having to lie about what I did on the weekends so I won't seem like a friendless loser, This site is also somewhat entertaining when I'm bored or looking to procrastinate.
