Hi all! New here. I've been coping with sa most of my life. I only found out a few years ago what my problem actually was. So now I have a name for why people think I am crazy. I have managed to hold a steady job for many years and do a few 'normal' things with difficulty. I was managing okay for a while but always seem to sabatoge myself every few months. I try to talk to my probably soon-to-be-ex about it and have only told my long time friend but they don't really understand. they can be sympathetic (sometimes) but I'm sure I frustrate them most of the time. I would not wish this disorder on anyone. :afr

Hi zzz, welcome to the site
Its so hard to make someone who hasn't suffered from social anxiety understand. I've told people about my sa and feel the same - they try to be sympathetic, but I feel like I frustrate them as well. That's what's so great about this site - everyone here really understands you You'll find people here who really want to support you, and who will also appreciate your help as well.
