social anxiety disorder

signs and symptoms of social anxiety disorder include:

• Intense fear of being in situations in which you don't know people
• Fear of situations in which you may be judged
• Worrying about embarrassing or humiliating yourself
• Fear that others will notice that you look anxious
• Anxiety that disrupts your daily routine, work, school or other activities
• Avoiding doing things or speaking to people out of fear of embarrassment
• Avoiding situations where you might be the center of attention

RubyXI

think so. still trying to work it out

ok. You might have more luck in the Long Term Illness forum - link in my sig. There are a few threads discussing this type of thing. Just a reminder to the PI mods as well that if you need to shift anything from here over there, feel free.

I wouldnt classify SAD as a long term illness personally.

But if you think you do have it OP I would go see a doctor or phsycologist or better yet a therapist. If you don't nip this in the bud now it can destroy your life.

Ask a professional about cognitive behaviour therapy.

Not a personal issue.
