Hey everyone...this started out as an answer to the thread about hiding but then I realised I would be so grateful for peoples opinions on why I am like this..
Basically i was going to write on that thread that yes I do hide and sometimes to a very extreme level even with people I know. Like others i hide in my room from my flatmates or avoid people on the street etc...and things like presentations and stuff are pure helll (thats not really hiding but just an idea of me)
So heres the bit I dont understand about myself. On a lot of other days Im really friendly, chatty and purposefully sit in the lounge when my flatties are there. I love family parties, i do have friends (not loads i admit) and i can generally make polite conversation with a stranger for a few minutes. People I know...actually can't shut me up sometimes..
Maybe I look like a phony now...but its those other days, which happen a few times a week (at least) where i am terrified of people (even ones i already know really well) and i hide, bored and alone rather than be with them. I am always genereally quieter...but the things I can do vary so greatly..from being (almost) confident to being a complete nervous wreck who can't see anyone.
I have no idea how i can go from one extreme to the other. Depending on which day you catch me I would tell you I have extreme SA or im just a little shy!! Any ideas about this would be really appreciated.....
Thanks
