Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety Support Group

Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder, often precipitated by the fear of having a panic attack in a setting from which there is no easy means of escape. As a result, sufferers of agoraphobia may avoid public and/or unfamiliar places. In severe cases, the sufferer may become confined to their home, experiencing difficulty traveling from this "safe place."

Hi to all of you.
Just wanted to ask you something.
The thing is that when i talk to people i get this feeling that they don't want to listen to me and they want to go away.
I always take their expressions negatively.
I don't know if all this is true or just in my head.
Even when i sit next to strangers,i feel they are uncomfortable because of my presence.They don't want me here.
I like a girl and want to tell her how i feel but am really afraid that even if she says yes ,would i be able to sustain the relationship?
Can anyone relate?

Have you ever tried Positive Thought exercises? There is a mix of good and bad in life, it sounds like you are leaning towards the "bad" more often than not. Positive thought may be of benefit to you.

let me ask you something, what do you like about yourself?
Can you tell us?

I have a funny feeling you don't like yourself much and if that is the case, then that is what you radiate to others, thereby making them feel uncomfortable around you.

sobe has a good point there -think of people as Mirrors... if you look nervous/anxious/upset/depressed/scared etc, then its highly likely that the people close to you or with you, will sense this, from your posture, facial expressions, any fidgeting or nervous habits that you have etc.. So yeah - acting confident and happy and at ease is not an easy trick to learn but once you HAVE learnt it, it will have a knock-on effect - people around you will sense your 'confidence' and they will not feel uncomfortable, like you say, and THEN in turn YOU will feel less uncomfortable!!!

am i not a genius?

:D hehe

Im sorta like this. I dump all my friends if they r to close to me, or if my husband isnt as excited about a new design i made with my interior designing collection then i freak out. I dump my friends if i find out they have done drugs so on.. I litterally hate human contact,so now that ive returned to school i chose a private girls school and theres only 43 of us, and thats even way to many people for me to be around, so i manage to hang out with at least 2 people from the school, and its great cuz we all got kids and gives us sumthing to comunicate on, not like id invite those 2 friends over to chill or anything cuz once i get home its no calling me and no showing up at my house bc i will ignore calls and i wont invite u over kinda thing even if ur my bestest friend lol. i can be very cheery around them as well on site of school, its basicly like i have 2 dif worlds know what i mean. i dunno if thats wat u mean but thats just me :)
