38 here and still dealing with social phobia

Wow, I thought I was the only one. I am also 38 years old. So tell me, do you leave your house? What do you do on a regular basis? Do you have a girlfriend? What are your days like?

I am 39 , 40 within 2 months and my phobia is worse than it used to be Rolling Eyes
Sometimes i convince myself that this social anxiety will disappear someday, but other days i am scared of growing older and older this way.
I have tried a psychologist for 8 months but it didn' t work and now i' m not motivated at all, anyway, i think i have to look for another one, a good one this time. Rolling Eyes

I'm pushing the 40 range and I have to admit....there are some issues that the mature crowd has to deal with that the younger crowd doesn't.
We all have similar challenges though.
Wanna start a 40 plus support group?


Couldn't agree more. I'm 34 and there is a different kind of pressure and intensity involved.

Wanting to be a parent (particularly if you are a woman) is incredibly challenging.

Sometimes you feel that you have a very limited time to get things right whereas someone much younger has time to make a few mistakes.
