I've been struggling with this my entire life and I'm 35. This disorder sometimes makes me feel like I'm broken or something. Very frustrating! The worst is having SAD while being in high school ... Now that is hellish.

@somotastic21 Yea. It sucks. I hate trying to explain it to people. I pretty much gave up on it. The worst is when people say, oh I have social anxiety too. They think being nervous is the same thing. It's not. Well, since you have social anxiety too, I'm glad to know you.

@FLATFEET3 you probably didn't have it in the first place if it was THAT easy for you. Cause I damn sure couldn't do that even if I tried.

I swear to god, sometimes I want to kill myself because of this HORRIBLE disorder. At school, I feel like a total outcast and people just alienate me because I don't ever say anything. I want to but it's just so damn hard. If I ever get put on the spot by the teacher in class, I start having an anxiety attack because i can feel other people's eyes on me. I hate it. HATE it when people stare at me...

The people that don't understand usually tells me to just "snap out of it". If I could just do that, I would in a heartbeat, so I just fake it. It's the most terrible feeling. I try to fight it, but whether I win over it or not, at the end of the day, I still feel defeated, weak and burned out. Since we have to be exposed so we can put food on the table, it's become a daily event for me.

@MsThegirlyoudontknow Yeah, people are always saying that life is easier for good looking people, but what's the point in attractiveness when a person is so shy they can't talk comfortably to anyone?

@B9King937 I have SAD. I always feel self-conscious, I blush easily, I always care about being judged. The 1st day of this semester I started blushing just because the teacher asked me a simple question. I'm really awkward and I isolate my self sometimes so I won't have to talk. I get panic attacks and everything else in class. This valentine's day I couldn't do anything because I was to anxious to talk to the girl. I have it I just view life openly and make the best of what I have.
