I know this has probably been talked about before but what's your favorite movie about social anxiety or that has some character in it that is suffering from social anxiety?

I think mine is Lars and the Real Girl. I watched it again tonight. It's not really a very realistic movie or even just about social anxiety. But it sure is an amazing story about accepting other people with whatever problem they may have. There are so many great scenes in the movie that show how people both struggle and come to terms with accepting someone who is different than them or who may have a problem.

I don't know. Maybe "Girl Interrupted".

What About BOB.

Punch-Drunk Love. I'm also really looking forward to the movie adaption of The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I felt all emotional just watching the trailer.

I love Punch Drunk Love and it's probably my second favorite. It's another one that I've seen more than once. I love watching that movie just for the buildup to one scene in particular, where a baseball bat makes an appearance.

I don't think I remember What About Bob so I'm definitely going to check it out. Maybe I watched it as a kid but don't remember if I did. Girl Interrupted was great too. I'm sure I'll watch Perks of Being a Wallflower when it comes out too. Thanks everyone. I'd love to hear more favorites.

Actually I think it might have been a crowbar or something else, and not a bat. I just didn't want to give away the whole scene with what happens first in case people haven't watched it. Definitely a must watch movie for anyone with social anxiety though.

Supernova

I think Roger Dodger is possibly a movie about social anxiety. An cynical uncle tries to teach his (socially anxious) nephew how to pick up women and lose his virginity.
