Social Anxiety Support

Iced Soul · 01-28-2009, 05:27 AM

Hi, everybody. I'm new.
I'm so not good with intros.
Um, My name is Adrienne, I'm 21, I live in California, and have had SA for a really long time. I didn't realize what it was until almost two years ago and am trying to deal with it, but so far it's winning the battle over me.
My family really isn't there for much support, so I guess I'm looking for a little support and friends. So if you ever want to talk, I'm here.

welcome! my family and friends arn't very understanding either, and i've found that just having people to share my experiences with has made me feel so much more comfortable with myself and i hope it does the same for you

hey welcome. My family is not supportive either, they think it's all in my head and I'm just "shy." I hope you find this forum as helpful as I have, and also if you want someone to talk to I am here.

Welcome, Adrienne

This site can be good for support, if you let it.

Hey Adrienne, welcome to

Iced Soul · 01-28-2009, 05:42 PM

Thanks for the welcomes, everyone.

I hope I find some support and understanding on the site.

Beany, my family don't even get it, yet two of them work with people with the exact same thing everyday. It boggles my mind, really.
Snowfly, that's pretty much what they think about me. It's either in my head or I'm faking it.
