Really bad SA

Posted on 09/25/09, 11:13 am

I have such bad SA that I laugh at the suggestion to have a creative outlet -- this might lead to someone seeing it! I am in an emotional prison. I also have trouble just walking around by myself because of what other people might think.

  Hi i understand what you mean about being in an emotional prison,ive felt like that all my life,i dont have any creative outlets appart from the gym which creates aching muscles! alot of the time i just want to stay in the house,but guess i realized its not healthy so i managed to get a job delivering pizza(wow what an achivement!)for along time i used to dwell on what other people thoughtof me and sometimes i still do,now i try to tell myself i really dont care what anyone else thinks cos im going out for me,and if anyone thinks negative about me there probably not very nice people,i do go alot of places alone,but there are millions in the same situation,im here if you need to chat hugs Karl

Hello, I'm Gen82 and suffer from social anxiety (SAD). I noticed there wasn't any group that specifically addressed this disorder at the time so I started my own.
