Re: recording my redundancy panic/journey whilst suffering SA

I'm so glad if it helps, Biscuits! I feel like im going a bit mad by myself right now and needed to vent about the situation. A massive change against your will really is a big anxiety trigger. I'm...

Re: Do you have disdain for quiet people that don't act like they're quiet?

i don't particularly struggle with quiet people. in fact, if i gather that they are just quiet, it seems to take the pressure off me to do the conversation heavy lifting and we can just be quiet...

Re: Is there any hope left??

There has to be hope, but only if you realign your expectations about life. I think Moksha is bang on. I joined this forum back in my 20's, and I expected things to change.

Things did, but not in...

Re: Moody co-worker

Thank you for your replies :)

Moody co-worker

I am just wondering if anyone else has to deal with a 'moody' 'sulky' coworker.

I work very closely with one other person. It's unfortunate, because we can't really avoid each other if one of us...

Re: Have you ever called in sick at work when you're not really sick?

Yes. I did it last week. It doesn't happen often at all, I think at most i take about 2 'sick' days a year, but when I take them they do feel valid. Some days are just awful and i need a day to...

Re: Do people mistake your anxiety for something else

Same. Which in turn makes me more self-conscious and the self-esteem plummets all the more. I know I'm not stupid, but the way people treat me kind of encourages that line of thinking. So then its...

Re: I never want to remove my facemask

i prefer wearing a mask because it does feel like you can hide yourself away some more. And strangely, even though I'm obviously self conscious about many things, I never care about nobody else...

Re: What goes through your mind if someone describes you as quiet

I get annoyed and paranoid and then feel very boring.
It doesn't help that at school one guy once said i didn't talk and was boring to my face. So yeah, confirms that fear.

Re: Do you think you'll make more effort to be social once we're "back to normal"?

I won't do much at all. I'm one of those people who kind of prefers this no-pressure to socialise situation because there's no choice in the matter, and dreading the return to 'normality'. I know...

Re: It's not always about 'you' (ramble)

Exactly. From whatever disorder it originates, it doesn't matter, the point is how we are unfortunately coming across to other people. I think it creates a vicious cycle of insecurity. This...

It's not always about 'you' (ramble)

I'll probably get a lot of hate for this, but oh well.

One thing I've noticed upon being friends with other people who suffer SA, is just how self involved/wallowing/soul sapping they can be. And...

Re: I dont know why I do this, can anyone relate? (Cancelling plans)

Yeah I was about to suggest it could be that, besides your body taking this instinctive flight reaction because the idea of being social is stressful by itself. The genuine relief of cancelling a...

Re: I don't feel real

Yes, Bry. Completely relate. But at this point putting on the act of what i think i should be is getting very tiring. One day I like to think I'll get so tired I'll just stop caring and be free to be...

Re: Have you ever been punched or challenged to a fight?

Has it been mostly guys responding to this so far? I'm interested to know if any other girls have been punched, as I have hah.
It was back in my goth days in early 00's; went to a nightclub where a...

Re: SA easier around strangers, worse with people I already know

I just came in to say I relate exactly to this. And yeah, it's probably just a case of knowing you're likely never to see that person/people again, so who cares. whereas you have to maintain a social...

As we get older...

does anyone find their anxiety settling or worsening?

speaking as a 34 year old woman, mine definitely seems to be worsening.
I just feel so bland and personality-less... the older I get the...

It wasn't so bad as I was dreading. Just mum, dad, my brother and his girlfriend. then a cousin visit (we do a little present swap every year and a catch up). I went home on boxing day and now its...

Re: Were you described as shy as a child?

I was always described as shy, by teachers and students alike. I was bullied by other students for it who liked to call me a mute. I can't really blame them.

i think you nail it! it's the time of childhood and also feels like a more innocent time (obviously wasn't that innocent at all lol). I'm an 85 baby, so remember very little of the 80's, but the time...
