See the reason I asked was because on this forum, I there seems to be much more people with SP in the UK or Australia than the US. I really dont know so thats why I'm asking: Do you think people with SP is higher in other countries than yours (mine being US)? It seems here that there are not too many people here that I have seen that have SP, either that or I'm isolating myself from them as well Very Happy Anyway thats for any responses and note that I'm not trying to pick on other countries saying that they are inferior to the US, not at all, I respect all of em, and I bet there tons better than here. Thanks.

Search engines and language differences I'd say. The primary US board is http://www.socialanxietysupport.com/index.php?sid=83e3864da5d817b2d85322fbdd4cf02a

maybe coz in the UK there isnt as much stigma attached to being a 'loser' as in the US, so people are more open about admitting it?

I was wondering the same thing.
Maybe i need to follow that link to the u.s. site.

(Henry : I'm glad to see that you are not another arrogant american that thinks our country is better than the rest of the world. )

Actually, in many ways we are far, far behind the rest of you folks reading this, and I appologize for the way that my country - and especially our president treats you all.

I'm an aussie and i find this to be very interesting. Per capita we have an amazing rate of top sportspersons and the same with SP. Most top sports people are highly neurotic - thats what makes them want to win more than others. Perhaps we are the neurotic country due to some cultural habit?
