News of Social Phobia Forum

Hello everyone!

My name is Jonathan (name is fictive) and I am looking for a solution to put my life together. In the following paragraphs I will discuss a situation and ask the members for advice.

I was born as an only child to a family composed of very busy members, with their jobs taking much of their spare time. As a result, after I finished the kindergarten and until I was around 12, I ...

Hi all,

I'm a student in my early twenties, and since I was about 15 I have struggled with various issues, quite a few of which persist still today.
I think this is going to be a long post, so I apologize in advance for this.

So a bit about my background first. I am an only child. My father has been diagnosed with ASD. I would say I have a close relationship with my ...

I have some social phobia, though I don't know if I have the full blown disorder.

Tomorrow I teach (adults) in a new school and I am freaking terrified. I can see this going either way. Depends on the student body. Social anxiety/performance anxiety is SO uncomfortable. I teach in another school as well, and knowing I'm well-liked there and I've taught the class a hundred times it's really easy. But in that school they're ...

I have a crush on this guy. At first i thought the guy maybe didnt like me at all because of the way he acted. I then realized the way he is with me he is exactly the same with absolutely everyone. He has social anxiety. He typically always keeps to himself and seems to be in his own world. Hes always looking down or on his phone. He doesnt talk to anyone and when ...

I am pretty sure I have a social anxiety problem. Whenever I am the center of attention, my face turns red which is really embarrassing. Since I am embarrassed, it turns even redder.

Anyone have any suggestions of how to deal with that? I am close to middle age and too old for this!

Thanks :oops:

Hello, I'm always on the OCD page but I have major issues with social environments and overall my self esteem.

There was a time where I wasn't like this 24/7 and I was able to perform in social environments on occasion.

I have no friends, I'm pretty much a loner and it seems to work better that way for me. I was bullied quite a bit in my youth and to this day, I still ...

I don't like confrontation but at my job it's bound to happen. I don't like fighting or people getting angry. I also don't want to turn into as A-hole but I feel like I have no choice. I work at a financial institution, Selling money orders, giving small loans, paying bills etc etc and we always have customers who owe us money or we need to get information out of to make sure their not ...

So basically I have Aspergers syndrome and SA. Now the ONLY problem I find I ever experience with Aspergers syndrome besides anything socially related are fabrics, but that's a different story. My main issue is my loneliness that I experience as I am unable to relate to others or form conversations that are not about one topic. I am obsessed with an extremely narrow scope of topics and that leads me to come across as ...

I met this guy and we're really in love, we connected right away, it felt like we knew each-other for forever. I've never felt this strongly for anyone. I've never been in a serious relationship either and I've never been intimate with anyone. I love being with him, but at the same time, as much as I like him, I feel unbearable anxiety being with him. My heart is pounding so hard it hurts, I'm ...
