I just realized... my college health insurance expires in two months, so I can't start an SA treatment program now because I'd have to stop partway in due to lack of insurance. I don't know if I could then get medicare or what. It figures :sad: Now I can't get help until who knows when. I should have done this in the fall.
That means more long months of torture... I can't do it :sad: I don't want to do this anymore :crying:

I would think the hardships of social anxiety would make us more compassionate towards other people, but I guess for some anxiety sufferers, they can't see past their own bitterness, and they just keep searching for someone to blame.
How can we expect to be understood and accepted by people who don't suffer from anxiety, if we don't also try to understand where they're coming from?
The socially well-adjusted people of the world are not to blame for our problems.

I think I need to take a parenting course. I need to be better prepared.

I'm nothing, worthless. I just seem to cause everybody trouble and frustration.

The other day, one of my online acquaintances suddenly asked me, "Do you have friends in real life?" I didn't really want to answer that question.

Whatever. ha ha
Your screen name always reminds me of the song "Summer Breeze", by Seals And Crofts. It's one of my top-three anti-anxiety songs of all time. I play it whenever I'm really stressed-out or down. So, your mere online presence puts me in a good place, and you didn't even know it. You probably do that sort of thing more than you know.
You also have something nice to say all the time, plus you start interesting threads.
So you've got that going for you.
Don't beat yourself up too bad, whatever this is, it will likely pass.

I feel like there's no hope for me; I'm constantly feeling sorry for myself. And I feel like there's nobody who truly understands me. Sometimes I try to be open with people but they usually tell me that things will get better but I continue to feel Depressed. Really hate complaining about my life and I don't feel like saying anything cause I doubt people will want to listen to my problems anyways, so instead I keep them bottled up inside.... I just wish I had some friends who truly understood what I was going through. :crying:

Seems like I have a metabolic age of a 12 year old. The nutritionist said the ideal weight for my height was 60kg but with my metabolism the best I could achieve would be around 55kg.
I thought about that the other day too, I couldn't imagine it. In terms of time, I could imagine it being infinite towards the future, but I couldn't imagine it being infinite towards the past. It had to start somewhere, right? I wouldn't say it has to end, but it definitely has to start. Then again, time is a concept created by us so maybe it can be infinite towards the past. I usually think about numbers, they can be positively infinite or negatively infinite. I guess the universe is the same, it just doesn't fit our rules.

I went for a jog just now and I really hate it cause I feel people are looking at me, at my hair. I kept distancing myself from them. I really wish I could just go out without being so self-conscious.

I can empathize with people who have social anxiety, of course. But when I see a really severe case of it sometimes it makes me feel awkward, and sometimes the person can unintentionally creep others out.
There was a guy today who was trying to get to know me but the way he was going about it - the abrupt and awkward way he was questioning me - only served to creep me out instead of think, "Oh, he's just anxious, I should be kind". No, I couldn't help the feelings of "Go away" that came up. I didn't act overtly unkind, I just... wanted him to leave me alone. I know that sounds mean, but it made me feel awkward. He was giving out the creeper vibe, not just the "I'm shy" vibe (which doesn't automatically make one a creep). I think the guy needs to practice some basic interactions because that is not how you get to know someone, not at ALL :/ I felt so awkward that I didn't want to make eye contact with him because every time I did he latched onto that and stared at me weirdly and tried to ask me more questions... awkwardly. I may be able to empathize with social anxiety, but the more awkward a person is the more awkward it makes me feel.
Has anyone else ever encountered someone else with social anxiety and it made YOU feel awkward and/or found the interaction unpleasant? What did you think?

I can only think of one time EVER that I saw another person that I thought was SP, and he was so awkward that I thought "Jesus, is that what I look like? No wonder people stare at me." But I just felt empathy for the guy because I knew his struggle. I imagine that if I were a girl getting buttered-up by a guy with social anxiety, it would be extremely weird. I've been approached by girls before, and they didn't have it, and that was bad enough. They at least got the message and went on their way.
