....forget the nervousness...you did it..that's the great thing. Don't think you're different in any way Andrew, we're all different, there's no such thing as normal..all we can do is try to like being who we are

I have a it. No doubt.

I do endless complicated things to avoid social situations that other people class as 'normal'.
It is a very hard thing to have. Well it's hard for me because I wish I found it easy.

I'm a professional hermit. Hello

[Jords]

Thats a cool little blog, can completely relate to it. I have social anxiety to a degree, especially with relationships/sex (...not done anything also... even though Ive wanted to and been close to but I pull out) and public speaking because I feel like Im gonna be immensely judged. Its ridiculous simply reading out from a book in class makes my voice shake and heart beat raise :/

But then I do strive to be social, part of several groups (none are the 'cool' groups but **** dat ****!) at school. Does take a while for me to feel comfortable around new people though and its really awkward before I do LOL. And even though I fear judgement if I hear a passing judgemental comment I confront it immediately (I think thats something I developed since I experienced bullying in past [nowt major I handled it good] and if I can do this why do I still get so bloody nervous!? :/)

If I lose weight Id know itd be less apparent in my life

i can completley agree with you there jords! i mean i cant listen to music without being paranoid tat anyone and everyone can hear it!!

and yes i do strive to be social, like i dreamed (i know, dreamed LOL) of setting up the blog, but i just couldnt bring myself to do it, but i bit the bullet and did it

and yes, i was bullied, alot, and that led me to have anxiety, then depression... your not alone!

and another thing, mine is to a degree aswell, i had a waiter job this summer and that helped me overcome so much of anxiety!

Not when I still said I was fat like last year but when I was in year 9 I was borderline obese. Now I recognise my weight loss it hasn't really helped.

Im glad its getting better for you with the job :]

Same about the music! I always just play my 'cooler' taste of music next to people hahahaha

Little steps, the blog thing is great

[Mystic Mock]

I thought I had posted this twice lol.

Anyway as I was saying,I don't think I have Social Anxiety but I can have some of the stuff that you just mentioned in some situations like I don't like people looking at what i'm doing if i'm listening to Music.

[Andrew.]

ive finished it now... some anecdotes... http://anxiousandawkward.blogspot.com/

That can help a lot because you don't really feel the attention is on you so much and it's easier to be confident in that situation...if that makes sense
