Social Anxiety Support

Sierra83 · 09-25-2009, 01:01 PM

I'd finish my psychology degree and my certificate in web development. I'd also strike up conversations with all kinds of people and hopefully expand my circle of friends.

What would you do?

leonardess · 09-25-2009, 09:46 PM

pretty much the same thing. Oh, and put my plan for world domination into action.

My hands are registered weapons. I have pretty much the same problem with my feet. I can cut a grapefruit in half, drop one half on the floor, and by just using my highly trained, finely honed stomping skills, step on said half at just the right angle that the juice will hit anyone in the eye, wherever they may be standing. That, my friend, is real pain.

Without SA, I would reveal this skill much more often.

Only joking. I'd just be much more me, I guess, and I'd find out what that is much more easily, and certainly faster.

I would go to the doctor and demand a diagnosis for my medical problems that have never been fully addressed!
If everything was fine....
I would charge into earning my license!
I would charge into attending the College of Notre Dame of MD!
I would charge into studying abroad in New Zealand for a semester!
I would explore romantic possibilities!
I would take a self defense class!
I would get certified in CPR and first aid!
I would take a watercolors course!

I'd just be more awesome than I already am.

I'm already trying to do those things. My pacing would just be different.

I would probably try and make new friends, and participate more in class. Probably be able to focus more on what the teacher is teaching than what other students may be thinking of me.

gozinsky · 09-26-2009, 01:36 PM

Probably nothing right now. I'd just feel a lot better sitting here.

Toad Licker · 09-26-2009, 03:01 PM

I'd get out more often than I do now but I doubt my life would really change a whole lot.

Jimbe · 09-26-2009, 04:22 PM

I'd just be glad that I don't worry about going out and talking to people anymore.

I want to experience freedom

ecotec83 · 09-26-2009, 07:44 PM

Travel around Europe
Start a business
Take vocal lessons
Go out and take more pictures
Have an amazing social life
Go clubbing again
Have the motivation to reach my goals of getting a job and my own place.

crome · 09-29-2009, 12:56 PM

Without SA, I'd probably waste my life into society's obscurity.

Pretty ironic, huh? If that's the right word.

StayStrong · 09-30-2009, 01:23 AM

Fulfill my highest potential!

SA is a downer like no other..

patricia · 09-30-2009, 01:57 AM

Georgina 22 · 10-01-2009, 02:29 PM

Go to university
Travel the world
Talk to guys and hopefully get a boyfriend
Take driving lessons
Get a job

Dempsey · 10-02-2009, 04:50 AM

Attempt to get a girlfriend. Attempt to create a new social life. Maybe take a few lessons in surfing.

NewDayErDay · 10-06-2009, 05:50 AM

Try to get laid ASAP.

Dolphinsaresmiling · 10-08-2009, 08:57 AM

I'd go out more and try a lot of new things, get more friends and talk more, go back to school, go to do dancing classes, help other people.

emofree · 10-12-2009, 05:10 PM

what would I do if i were anxiety-free is going out on a beach relaxed and feel the breeze of a clean air and celebrate ... I feel like celebrating right now ... singing to the tune of celebrate good times come on .... aw ....

mallard · 10-12-2009, 08:57 PM

I'd join some study groups, so I could make friends and practice my language.

I'd throw a party.

And... eventually land the job of my dreams.

jim_morrison · 10-12-2009, 09:26 PM

Pretty much everything that I'm already doing but at a much faster pace, ie go to college full time instead of part time etc.
And most importantly I'd go out and live life, go to see concerts, go to events, strike up interesting conversations with strangers, travel etc.
