Re: Being A Hermit
Don't think I could manage it! I've gone about 2 years where I've only left the house once or twice (even including going on the garden), but I still had my family with me. Don't think I could do it...

Re: not looking forward to summer!

Re: I dont really want a job
I would love a job, but find the applying process the most difficult part. Then you possibly have ridiculous stuff like group interviews to contend with... It grinds me down before I've even started.

Re: Public speaking and presentations
I think you're being too hard on yourself here. They told you themselves it was fine, if they think otherwise behind your back who cares? You should be proud that you stood up and did it in the first...

Re: stressful situations
Ah, the old "you're very quiet" remark. I think we all know it all too well. Made even worse when you feel like you're getting on OK.

Re: I am destined for a life of loneliness
This.
I know it's probably not what you want to hear Macca, and others like Muggins has terrific advice, but for me accepting it has made me feel slightly better. It's only when you start to brood...

Re: 22 and losing the life game
Hang in there pal. I was exactly in your position except I didn't go to university, I only managed to get a job because I was put on a work placement by the government. But getting a job isn't...

Re: Hairdressers
Sometimes, after the first few times I got fairly comfortable with the woman who cuts my hair. I go on the day she is in, and pick early afternoon or something so kids are at school so I'm usually...

Re: Eye contact
I try and try but as soon as I come up to someone who looks pretty intimidating and may take it the wrong way my head slumps right down. Plus a lot of incoming traffic kills me.

Re: Sick of hope.
On the positive side at least you have the opportunity to meet new people, there's always a chance. Ours is a very small team :(

Re: Addressing people by their name
I mostly cope just by referring to everyone as "mate", "pal", "dude", whatever comes up in the moment. And probably another reason why I'm hopeless at talking to girls! Got nothing for them! (not too...

Re: careers, what hope is there really?
I've said it before on here and I'll continue to say it - retail is a good career for an SA sufferer. It gets us out there and forces us into a social environment on a daily basis. It has definitely...

Re: Do strangers talk to you?
Quite a lot. I'm starting to believe they see you're not really social and try and boost your confidence a bit. Just good to see some people out there wanting to help you out, get you out there in a...

Re: xmas party at work...
Yeah, it really helps if you have one person who you can always stick to. If it doesn't work out with others you have your friend to fall back to. I made the mistake of going last year despite my...
