Re: I hate British 'stiff upper lip'
I don't think there is anything wrong with a guy crying. I often tend to cry at films (I'm a total sop :rolleyes:) and have been seen doing so twice by different women. Both times I got a positive...

Utter twaddle :tongue1: I personally know two couples that met on this site. I'm going to be at one of their weddings in a few months, in fact. Having SA doesn't make you unworthy, but it may well...

Re: i need help
Hi Martin,
From the symptoms you described, it certainly sounds like you have social anxiety, and maybe a little agoraphobia as well. I had a lot of similar problems, though I skipped the GP...

Re: Which type of SA do you have?
I've never been formally been diagnosed, but I appear to have AvPD (Avoidant Personality Disorder). I did suffer from a more general form of SA, but that was mainly a side of effect of having AvPD...

Re: What's your Enneagram?
I did the test twice and got somewhere between a 2 and a 9. I guess I can be either, depending on my mood. When I'm depressed, I'm more of a 2, but when I feel fine then I just feel really calm and...

Re: Don't you just love cats?
I love cats, and own one that is around 15 years old! I rarely punch her though, unless I'm very angry or bored :smash:

Neither of those films really reflect that though. In Punch Drunk Love, Barry is still totally messed up through out the whole film. When it ends, it doesn't make out that suddenly everything is...

Yes, another one of my all time favourite films, with the music also by Jon Brion. I'm not sure how often I've seen this film, but it must be quite a lot. I love the extended intro...

Re: Great film about SAer finding true love!
I so totally love this film :1pirate: I don't know how many times I've watched it, but it would be a lot. I saw it on a sky movies advert and thought: "Hmm, that looks interesting". I downloaded it...

Re: The "what are you drinking now" thread..
Three shots of Whiskey and a enough lemonade to make it up to a pint... blah, I'm such an alci. I'm not sure how much these shots are, but after two pint glasses, I'm totally wankered.

I have slowly been getting better since my teens. Finding out about SA three years ago was the really big turning point for me because all of a sudden, I had a strategy for tackling my problems. I...

There is so much crap in my head associated with this that I just can't form an answer. I guess I have no idea any more. I don't look great, though I doubt I look hideous either.
