i will check that out...i blush but i have brown skin so i don't get red, i can hide it better but i still blush. visit my blog, google: diary of a shy black woman
I'm 20 and also have it. Had it since about 16 or 17 aswel. I found drinking to be a good short term solution but now that I realised I have to stop drinking I have no idea how I'm going to live a normal life or get through it. It wouldn't be possible even WITH drinking. (Tip: Never drink to overcome anxiety, you just get yourself into more trouble)
mine is so bad it makes me want to kill myself. im 27 i never had a girlfriend either and have no prospects of ever having one. when i see young people having fun it makes me sick in the heart.
Your video, and these comments really hit home with me. I'm 16 and SA is only one of the things I'm going through but I feel like I could never have a boyfriend or a normal teenage expierience. Does anyone know if there is somewhere where people with SA can talk to eachother?
I'm 40 something (ouch) and if I had all the technology we have now when I was growing up, things would of been easier. Social anxiety was unheard of, not to mention we did not have personal computers,internet, cell phones etc...
Your still so young and their are manny tools to help you. Hopefully the videos from SAI can help you in one way or another.
I'm the same. I always had one or two friends at school. But eventually lost them too. I'm almost 32 now, I don't have any friends, and never had a girlfriend.
Wow, can't believe it's been just over a year since I did this interview for The SAI Institute here in Phoenix.
I hope watching them has given you hope and encouraged you to learn how to stop those ANTS.... automatic negative thoughts.
I have so much more to share... and am thinking of doing my own video to talk more about overcoming SA.
I know all of us that have lived with social anxiety have a bond...no matter what age, race or religion, we can relate to each other.

How did you function before they told you what they think you have?

I understand what you're going through.
Its hard to befriend others when its so difficult to open up and feel comfortable.
