I dont really know what i have...I just sweat a lot even when i just sit.
Im scared to go out....Going to college is like a horror trip for me, at the moment i really really feel like crying because im 20 years old and cant even help myself to get out of that ,,problem,,....

Its just horrible, i think i have got no confidence at all....Oh and i have no friends at all....It does make me feel sad sometimes, but i got used to it.....

I would really appreciate if someone could chat with me about that problem.

Tomorrow is my first day in college after my holidays and im really really ,,freaking out,, i dont know what to do.... Crying or Very sad

Hi and welcome. First of all read the logo: ''You are not alone''. People on this site have what you describe in your post, more or less.

It is a friendly and helpfull comunity and you won't regret joining.

You can meet people to chat with here: http://www.socialphobiaworld.com/forum11.html

As for the first day of college....I ca give you a few advices. You can look for people who are shy like you, I'm sure you can find at least one from all of those ppl there. You'll see that if you're friendly with them, they will do the same with you Smile

Of course you have to stick to those people and you may find yourself having a nice group of friends after a few weeks Wink

This is all you need, you don't care about what others say cause you only care about your grades and your friends. Your small nice world, and you'll see college is not so bad.

Hope it helps Wink

I think the huge response to this particular website
shows that SA (social anxiety) is not as unusual
as you many think. I'm in exactly the same situation
as you, i have SA and am due to start a counselling
course in a few weeks, and in that time i have to
find a work placement!! I know i'll be as nervous
as hell! My advice to you is to don't be too hard on
yourself ,and practice chatting on the net, and maybe
join an interest club, so you have a common interest
and something to talk about. I'm going to try this myself.

If you want to chat some more here is my
email address cato25@hotmail.co.uk

Thanks to both of u, for ur replys.

My first day at college wasnt that bad actually even tough i had no problems i was sweating like hell....that is quite embarising specially when everyone can see, that my top is wet .... . I guess that was the only problem today.

I remember last year teachers used to ask me Questions about my subjects and i knew the answer but was not able to tell them. That is why i always used to say ,,i dont know,, and during lessoons i couldnt concentrate because i tought people are looking at me or something like that. It is really not nice to have a life like that. But I believe and I am sure that after some ,,hard effort,, i might get myself sorted.

thanks again for the replys !
