Same. Its worse now at college. since i was about 14 & im 18 now. Even randomly selfconscious when going past bedroom window. Yet I dnt feel I care wht ppl think so I dnt get why Im so anxious in a room wiv others, let alone goin out. Dnt mind presentations or being center of attention. Though some reason my anxiety is too hellish to bear anymo. Blinking makes me feel stubborn-looking. I h8 interacting & deliberately alone.I dnt think any1else probly has what I hav or that it can b cured, right?
Wow. I can relate to everything you say...I thought college would magically cure me, but it definately got worse. I used to get so anxious just walking around...it was a challenge just to walk to class...I always felt that people were staring at me.
came to a settlement so no jury was needed. i wasn't seeing a Doc regularly so i could get a medical excuse signed but now I should be able too. The meds I'm on aren't that good for me to go thru that yet. Just takes more working on. Jury Duty is the absolute worst for me. Also that is why I didn't go back to school after HS because I had classroom fear too. Wish I can get over this center-of-attention fear. I need to buy those audio cd's of SAI.
Also for most of us SAD people Jury Duty would be a nightmare and you probably know why. I was so nervous about it that I went jogging the night before and I don't exercise like I should but it didn't help to much. I even tried not to respond but those bastards came after me so I had to go. I have done it 3 times and so nervous every time. One time i thought I would pass out right there in the audience waiting to be called. Lucky the defense lawyer looked at the crowd and got scared and
I was fine and outgoing in Jr High but my small group of friends went to other High Schools and I went into HS pretty much alone. There were a couple old friends but I couldn't find them at breaks most of the time so that is where the SA started for me. After HS it just got worst and wasn't until I was 29 when I looked into what was wrong. Being the center of attention is what I wouldn't mind but just couldn't handle. For a practicing magician like me, SA is not good.
Watching this video was strange. I've felt and done almost everything you spoke of. It's an amazing feeling to hear someone else with the same thoughts. And you're right, the anxiety seems to bleed into every part of your life. Your relationships with teachers, friends, family members, coworkers, bosses, roommates, etc. It's in everything.
