  • Does anyone else notice themselves becoming very formal (almost robotic) when they're in a social situation? when they're experiencing a moment of social phobia?

    I can force myself to "get out there" and interact with people, but it's like my mind defaults to this overly-formal safe zone. The more nervous I am, the more formal I become. the more people think of me as snobbish.

  • @kelseynorman921 Fuck off. You don't have it, so therefore you don't know what it's like. BITCH.

  • @liamlloyd77 I moved 6 times in the last 6 years and ive been to 5 different schools so its hard to keep friends.

  • this disorder has completely fucked up my life and ive only had it for 1 and half years.i feel like my future is ruined, i just want to stay in my room for the rest of my life and never come out

  • @LoLXxDXLmao Im not surprised my friend. When I was at school I must have thought over a thousand times to stop going to school. They only thing that stopped me was the friends I had since I was 5 years old...

  • Fuck it, when I die, I wanna go to hell, cos imma piece of shit, it aint hard to fuckin' tell

  • I've lost all my friends, academic success, and a future because of this. T_T

  • This is the reason why i stopped going to school >.<

  • @liamlloyd77 I know how you feel. I'm trying to get over it but it's so hard. Feel like it's holding me back from really enjoying life.

  • I've been told in social situations I look extremely mean or unapproachable, but when people do talk to me this is where I dont know how to respond. "hey nice shoes" "oh thanks iwearthemwhenimnotwearingskinn­yjeans..." awkward replies are all im good at lol. It sucks.

  • @ImSofaKingGood

    I feel the same, in social situations where I'm confronted I stumble over words and just say the most grammatically odd things. :/ I get you..
