Girls - I would like to know how anxiety has affected your life. What situations are more difficult than others? Is it more difficult to interact with other females or males? What situations do you avoid the most?
Moms - I want to know if your anxiety has increased or gotten better since you became a mom.
I'm a mom and I know mine has gotten worse, having a child forces you to get out and interact with others a lot more, and it seems I always think everyone is judging me more now since I have a child. I'm just trying to get out and let Hayden (my son) interact with other children as much as I can, because I don't want him to have the same fears I do, I know it is a learned behaviour.

Hey, i can interact more with girls but even so i have a hard time because my mind is always blank.
Anxiety is ruining my life and is difficult for me to speakout in class or give out a presentation. talking on the phone, and walking in a huge crowd of people.
they are chicks, so they just wait to get asked out. if they are attractive, they probably get asked out a lot. however, for us guys, we have to do the asking out and that makes it so much harder.
By "you people" are you referring to SA sufferers or women in general? I don't have anxiety with everyone, certian people make me really nervous but certain people I get along with just fine. If you don't have SA I don't think you understand.
I mean females who say they suffer from social anxiety, and yet have a partner. I have severe social anxiety, I think that's the difference.

Who are you to crticise in such a way Argamemnon?
There are people, male and female, who have social anxiety and still have partners.
Social anxiety effects different people in different ways in different situations and with different people (Phew).
Some people with SA will deal with situations you never could, and likewise you may deal with situations that they couldn't.
..........
sleepysparrow- I find it hard to communicate with both genders really, but i'm probably more fearful of other females. Especially good-looking ones!
SA effects literally everything in my life, from what I choose to eat, to the places I go etc.

I wasn't criticizing; I was genuinly asking a question. I have come to the conclusion that I do not only suffer from social anxiety, but also from avoidant personality disorder, and on top of that I'm "love shy".
