Re: Ex-sufferer interviewed
This is the deal-breaker for me. $15 may well be a drop in the ocean but that's just for the Demo CD - which is probably not of any use by itself. Instead its the £100 + 'Program' which is...

Re: SA Character in Casualty
Yeah, that is not encouraging. I have a bad feeling they they are going to portray this guy as just some loser-type personality who needs to get a life. That's NOT depicting SA, it's falling into...

Re: Do you REALLY have social anxiety?
Heh, no intention of doing that, this has got my debating muscles fired up though..
To me personally the question of to what extent the official definition of social anxiety is correct or not is...

Re: Do you REALLY have social anxiety?
I actually think you are stretching the truth a bit here. There has been a shift towards medicalising certain aspects of behaviour which in some cases is regrettable, but I don't think it's the...

Re: Do you REALLY have social anxiety?
Agreed, that is definitely the danger. There is probably a distinction between what is social anxiety and what is a more transient shyness, but we shouldn't underplay what a serious condition social...

Re: Does this NLP guy sound dodgy to you?
Sounds very dodgy to me. I don't have much experience of NLP, but in the end his 'guarantee' is not worth very much. He wants you to sign a contract for £800 worth of sessions beforehand, but I bet...

Re: Fantasy vs Reality
Yes, I can definitely relate to this bit. 'I prefer fantasy to reality' seems to be a common phrase used by people with SA. I think I prefer it sometimes as well.
I don't know if its indicative...

Re: Sunday Times article on Loveshyness
I saw this earlier and was going to mention it if someone else didn't. Never really liked the 'love-shy' label, but on the other hand its good to see some SA-related issues getting more mainstream...

Very interesting article - it has always seemed to me that SSRIs and other medications for mental health problems have quite a dodgy scientific basis to support them. They may work for some people,...
