Hey

Do you also have a anxious feeling when you meet people online and you see pictures that he/she is really super-social? Like going out alot, with many crowds of friends around her, I don't avoid those people but it just gives me an anxious feeling. Because I think they won't understand me really good. ( the SA part )
I'm just wondering if someone relates to this.

when you stay away from certain things, your brain confirms that its something to fear, so face your fears, so your subconcious mind gets used to it

yes when i see pictures of people out with friends all the time, like on facebook it makes me a little depressed

I get anxious because I wonder/worry about what they would think of me if they knew my situation. I'm even worse around those kinds of people in real life, though. I was always worried when I took classes on campus because there were people there like that.

I tend to avoid super social people, they always ask me "so what are you doing at the weekend" or "what have you been up to" and it sucks having to say nothing all of the time, especially when they are out and about constantly, they can't understand how i can be so unsocial, so i avoid them mainly because i'm embarrassed and it's easier that way because i don't have to answer their questions!

I more dislike people who are loud outspoken and think that they have right answers to everything and they all are super social. I also dislike arrogant fools who are overacting and are proud of their dumbness and who hate smarter people. In my case I am not anxious of super social people- I simply hate them.

I'm not anxious with super-social people, I work with a bunch of them. But I

do tend to lie about what I did on the weekend.

Yes, I feel very uncomfortable around people who are outgoing, popular and have a large community of friends. They make me feel quite inferior but it really isn't true. It is just the difference between being an extrovert and an introvert and I really much prefer being myself when I think about the bigger picture.

No they don't bother me any more than most. In my experience the super social are more likely to talk to me and ask me to do things with them. Which after all is what I wanted. When I was in the service all my friends were that type and they took out with them a lot when they did things, yeah I was nervous but I was glad to be included. Now that I'm no where near them I have to motivate myself to get out which is hard as hell sometimes.

I often find myself envying super social people as much as they irritate me, they tend to talk over people to get their point across first and have to be loud and funny, its definitely an element of fearlessness going on, perhaps they have had enough exposure to social situation that they've reached beyond caring what other people think about them or their opinion....the arrogant ones are often the most irritating and intimidating though..
