Hey everyone
I stumbled upon this website whilst searching about social anxiety. I decided to join after reading a few posts and seeing how friendly the people were. While I haven't actually been clinically diagnosed with Social Anxiety, I can relate to the problems that people are faced with when dealing with the disorder.
Just a quick background, I've had social troubles for as long as I remember, I've always been reserved and shy in social contexts, (although once I'm comfortable with someone I can be myself, which takes a VERY long time). I've had trouble with my weight in the past, even though I'm within a healthy range at the moment, I still suffer from poor self-body image and get really conscious when going to beaches or pools. I tend to be incredibly intimidated when with a group of people and often my mind draws blanks and I'm unable to converse and end up being reserved.
Anyway I'm going to wrap up because I think I've said a bit too much for an introduction, but just wanted to say hi
and looking forward to reading about some of your stories.
