News of Social Phobia Forum

Hi, I'm new to this site and hoping someone understands what I' going through as it's awful to go it alone.
When I'm in social situations I get shy in my eyes, eg/ find it hard to look someone in the eye for long and I feel I'm not blinking right. My mind also goes overdrive thinking they'll think I'm strange if I don't look at them right. I've had this feeling for about 10 ...

I can't make friends without constantly feeling like I annoy them. It's making me super paranoid and just all the more nervous. The reason I started trying to make friends online was because I felt more comfortable not having to engage in a conversation face-to-face. But now I feel anxious even online.. It kinda sucks ass, y'know? I either feel as if I'm being too much or too little. Sometimes I just don't know what's ...

Hi. My name's Chino as this thread is for those who want to learn to build their own social circles. As someone who's learned to do this themselves, what I do now is help others.

I do have a plan of how to implement this. This plan involves joining a social activity in your local area, and communication between ourselves via psycheforum. I have completed it with a small number people and I want to ...

So lately I've been having trouble with hand tremors around people.

A little about me, I just started going to school again (I'm 17 haven't been in school since I was 12) and
I've gained a lot of weight (around 250lbs is my current weight). I'm pretty insecure about my weight and how I look.

For the past few days I've been noticing something I get hand tremors when I'm around people in my class ...

I'm going to a leaving party in about 2 weeks, and being the social phobic mess that I am, this will be terrifying for me. Luckily I know most of the people there, are it isn't overly formal or overly structured either.

Is anyone else here doing anything?

This is my first post on here, so sorry if it's a little rough.
For a few months I've been dealing with bad bouts of feeling antisocial and not really wanting to immerse myself in large social scenes. This is a little weird for me considering how social I was in high school and my freshman year of college. In high school I had tons of friends, was always up to meeting new people and ...

I made a post on this forum sometime ago, but didn't receive anykind of feedback.

Anyways, the tile pretty much sums it up. I'm a bitch when in conflict or if someone says something towards me to make me look or sound retarded.

Like, for instance, I'll say something and some of the people I hang out with or just anyone in general that replies with something that shows more of a, "dominant" reply or ...

My social anxiety has gotten so bad that it's almost impossible for me to attend class. Even when I do, I feel absolutely terrible :( This only happens because of school; everything else is fine for me, but school is awful. I was just wondering, have any of you ever asked your teachers/professors if you could take their on-campus class online? Or has anyone ever heard of ...

I'm 20years old living with my parents and I don't go out at all. I'm nervous when I see people passing by our house. I have paranoid thoughts about break ins so every noise I hear outside will always lead me to hiding while checking my windows like crazy. A little background about me, I've just moved to US from an Asian country that's why I don't have friends here and I can't go to ...
