Social Anxiety Support

It's always nice to have someone there that is going through the same as you are. It can be someone you talk to very rarely, or someone that you've only met online, but it's always good to talk about your problems and having someone understanding them and knowing absolutely what you're going through.
I am lucky enough to have my bf having the same OCD problems as me. Today we were discussing the obsessions we have and had, and what we did to avoid them. We actually had a great laugh.
This was the actual highlight of my day. The person who I spend most time with is the only one I know that has the same problem as me. It's just so good to know they're not going to be stupid because they think they can help you, or to know they're not going to look at you as if you were a creep. They actually know what to do, and share opinions. Mutual help is the best thing.

Aw, that's really good you have someone to talk to. I don't really, but my boyfriend tries to understand as best as he possibly can.
