I didn't know where to put this. Not really a frustration so I can't put this there.
Not really unrelated to anxiety so I couldn't put this in General Discussion.
Anyways...
Today at work, while on lunch, a random Girl, or should I say woman?, came up to a co-worker and myself who were just talking a bit outside.
They kind of talked their deal while I just sort of stood there awkwardly but when I got back to work 15-20 minutes later she came up to me while I was doing my duties.
Me: "Why hello again."
Her: "Hi, I chose you because I saw you outside."
While I was helping her. We discussed certain things. She doesn't like people, I don't like people. She mentioned how hard it is for her to get a long with people and I told her that I was the same.
She then mentioned that she has social anxiety and gets nervous trying to make friends.
I've never heard the words "social anxiety" in everyday, real life before.
At that moment, I realized that I should mention my outlet.
I tell her that I too have social anxiety and I asked her if she had heard about "Social Anxiety Support" and she said no. I then wrote on a piece of paper the url and whamo! Bob's your uncle.
No but seriously I gave her the website and she seemed appreciative.
I actually think that I may have helped someone today even if it is minor in scope.
I wonder if she'll ever actually visit this website though.
