What do you tell people about your SA??

I think I've told about 50 people about my anxiety so far, and it really helps me to know that I'm not odd or abnormal. They tell me about their anxieties, and they fill me in on the social learning that I lack. Some people like me a lot more after I tell them, tho some like me less. SA is not like schizophrenia, it is not a mental disorder, it is just an exaggeration of normal experiences and feelings. Everybody knows what SA is like, because everybody has had these feelings at one time or another.

Sometime i just tell people straight out, like " i really dont wanna do that speach because i have a form of sociual phobia" if they laugh i just say "im serious! i find it very difficult" then usually it goes into a conversation about how they make themselves feel confident.

ocassionaly you will get people that think you are some sort of looser or failure, i just then stay away from them and consider then very closed minded.
