Watch out newbie about.....

Hello All,

I've spent a little while thinking and I'm not really sure what I should type. I don't really know or understand if I have a social phobia so I hoped coming here might sort me out. I have a fear an almost sickening fear of going out socially with mates to social places like bars, resturants, pubs and clubs. First I thought it was a fear of drunken people but I think its mainly a fear of the people themselves. I'm twenty two and I feel like everyone has rushed ahead with their lives and left me behind. I am a sci-fi geek so that is my escapism. The only place I can feel truly happy is at conventions where I don't feel like I'm being judged. My fear of socialising outside of work is stopping me from experiencing other things. I've never had a boyfriend and I feel my life is plodding along at the same pace. Some times it gets me down and I feel like if I wasn't there would people even notice, I've not actually done anything.

I don't know if this is something similar but its certainly not something I would ever go speak to someone about. I just suppose I don't think anyone would understand.

Anywho if you understood that your a better person than me!

Hey i totally understand!

The fear that stops you doing stuff is really hard to explain.

It gets really hard when i look at people a year younger than me who have done so much more than me in their lives. Relatively i have done nothing.

I have so much energy and ambition but it is just locked inside.
