The society we live in is so dehumanized, greedy and trivial...

Nobody, other than those who suffer, can ever understand the complexity of emotions, thoughts, perception or sensitivity an individual with this disorder experiences...

I feel like I do not belong in this world, what a cold, loveless, and lonely place...

I just want the enjoy life...

Understand myself... Find someone who understands me...

And understand someone else too...

Does anyone else feel the same?

I hate when people say they have social phobia yet they're in a room with people talking infront of a camera with all the attention on them and broadcasting themselves to everyone on television. That's not social phobia, that's just called being shy at the least. Real social phobic people can't even stand being noticed by others at all and hide in their rooms every single day in fear even from their own family in some cases. This documentary is seriously inaccurate.

@dtramell Been there done that. Counseling can help your situation, I believe. It helped mine.

My question is how did they get these people with social anxiety to interview. I know it is a very debilitating disorder (if you want to call it that). I believe I had it when I was younger. I would literally tremble in fear sometimes. Of course my career as a teacher has gotten me past some of these issues because of the need to survive in my career and the fact that I tend to be a fighter by nature. I told myself I wouldn't allow myself to feel that way at one point, and got out of my comfort.

Could it be that people aren't really meant to be around as many other people as many of us are today?

[IfureadthisURdum]

This is exactly what I'm like. After moving, having two relatives pass away and switching schools twice, It just got much worse.

[ProJanitor]

isn't that a form of arrogance though? to think that people are constantly judging you and putting you on their mind when you're not even known to them?

@SeverdSeouL i feel exactly like u .

It KILLS and angers me that some parents yell at these ill children to try to "snap" them out of their problems. My parents yelled at me and still give me trouble when I have problems because of the social anxiety I still deal with. Good job parents. I'm not having children so I won't screw them up!
