Social Anxiety Support

bobbawobba · 12-20-2008, 02:04 PM

at work i started talking to a guy who i thought hated me and it turns out hes nice as hell.i connected wit him in a human way,to my surprise.then after work i was so excited i called my friend i aint seen in a while and we went to a few bars.the whole night i was anxiuos as hell.but the next day we went hung out wit 2 girls that we hung out wit the night before and i was being myself.i now understand that overcoming social anxiety or better yet seeing through it is just like anything else.u have to try it may be hard but u WILL learn.u cant get over it by avoiding it.the progress is gradual tho,so gradual i hardly notice it.just like anything else.

Great!

I totally agree with you. Ever since I've stopped avoiding things, I feel like I've gotten better.

I agree, avoidance is the worst way to deal, it's just like giving up.

Yea the progress is very gradual and you have to continually push yourself beyond your comfort levels. I agree, now keep it up and have fun.
