Re: Smear test fear

It's awful isn't it? But you are right that you have to do it. I always think how much more of an ordeal it would be if I didn't go and it turned out I did have it and it wasn't detected early...

Re: Not knowing what is APPROPRIATE to say

Re: excuse needed for declining wedding invitation

Yayyyyyy! Well done you!

I was thinking how blooming expensive weddings are these days - for the guests!

The last one I went to, there was a very expensive present list, and of course I had to...

Re: excuse needed for declining wedding invitation

OK, this is one I used recently to get out of meeting a relative. As it happens it was true, but for some reason it had never occurred to me to use it before. It might not work for you, but just in...

Re: Wonderin.... is it a gd idea 2 tell ppl that u av social anxiety or not??!

I'd be a bit cautious about your expectations.

In my experience, most people don't get sa at all. So I go through the embarrassment of explaining only to find that they didn't take me...

Re: excuse needed for declining wedding invitation

My family make me feel the same way, though they are mostly mad and unsuccessful.

The only alternative would be to accept and phone in sick at the last minute. Or tell them the truth and risk...

Re: excuse needed for declining wedding invitation

If you can manage a lie (I'm hopeless at it) you could say that you have already accepted an invite to a friend's wedding on the same day.

Broadband - please help, I'm clueless

Hi folks. Happy New Year to you all.

Re: Public Speaking...Strangers or Friends?

Absolutely more terrified of 'friends' or people I already know in this situation. With strangers, however, I just have normal nerves, not sa though.

But this fits with my whole sa thing. For...

Re: Anyone else have a certain situation/activity where SA should affect you but does

No, I'm never comfortable, only when I am on my own. There's always a feeling like, I don't know how to describe it....someone using a Brillo pad on the inside of my head maybe, when I'm with other...

Re: Anyone else have a certain situation/activity where SA should affect you but does

Yes, put me on reception or in a job where I give out advice/information about something I know about, and you'd think I was really confident. But if I meet the same people outside that situation, I...

Re: Social Networking Sites

Sorry to keep asking stupid questions, but does that mean that anyone you accept also gets to know your email address? Or just that somehow knowing my email address would allow them to find me? I...

Re: Famous SA people :)

Maybe they are like me, and when they have a defined role, they can manage (still feel anxious but I can do it) but when I am just me in a social situation it is really, really difficult.

Re: Social Networking Sites

So, is it possible to set it up so that only people you invite can find you? I'd be more likely to do it if I could have time to get used to it and how it works without getting unexpected...

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers

Oooo I've never been called 'erudite' before! Thank you! :d
