I got anxiety, panick attack, and a social phobia from girls

1. I dont like this one girl named Carla, we have a history.
2. In the summer, I was very sleep deprived because I was working a lot of hours. One night my brother had a party and there was a bunch of girls I knew. They were partying literally right outside my door, so I yelled at them to shut the ###$ up. It was a bit more intense then that though. Eventually, they ...

Panicking Over Friends Possibly Coming Over

I received a text message from a few friends of mine who are planing on coming into town to see me.......and I'm really afraid that they might stop by. I'm thinking of leaving the house but it's really cold outside. I had a sudden panic attack a few minuets ago, my breath was deepening........and I usually never have panic attacks. But for some reason I am getting so afraid......every car that drives by, every car ...

in my 30's and still get social anxiety

My social anxiety comes and goes. I don't get anxiety at work but I'm in my delivery van most of the time (I work for DHL)

Social anxiety and its circularity

I've posted a few times before, each time a long essay post, but I figure it's really not that useful and the extra elaboration tended to distract from my main question. So I really have one basic question:

How do I seek treatment if I'm too scared to do so because of social anxiety?

Physical effects of social stress?

Hi,

I am not sure where this goes, but seems ok here....
(oops, I rambled off subject a bit down below)

My social anxiety is about constantly analyzing my situation. I heard that dumb people with my problem go crazy, and geniuses with my problem are unusually brilliant. I am somewhere in the middle, I am very good at some things, but my whole head will overheat after about 15 minutes of social stress, and ...

Can't tell if I'm getting worse or better

I've been in therapy for years (since I was 16 or so, I am now 19) for social phobia, but I can't say it's really helping me now. I purposefully avoid getting in too deep with emotional stuff and just keep it casual, or talk about issues comparatively frivolous (college, family, etc) so my avoidance of feelings isn't noticed. My psychologist occasionally brings up how he's seen me for years but I've never cried around ...

social anxiety. Am I normal?

-Is it normal to get to know people online or is it socially awkward?

-How many friends should I have?

-Is it ok to build up a relationship knowing that she would ignore me if I were unemployed? Or this is just the way it is?

Where to find friends?

I've not had any real friends for the last three years, and aside from my parents, I rarely spoke acquaintances in that time, let alone actually see them. If I talked to anyone at all, it was usually via MSN, although even that was rare. All that time, I rarely had the courage to speak to others because of social fear associated with intense self-loathing. I've also felt dysthymic or depressed during that time.

Half ...
