I suffer with this - its horrable.I lost alot of friends because of it - i cant remmeber when it developed exactly, but i now find it extremly difficult; to socialise with people, even friends i have had for years.I remmeber in school and college being scared weeks before the presentation.I always think people look and judge me; even if no one is looking at me... im stuck and cant find anyway out of it... its destroying my life.

I dropped out of college because it got to the point where I got sick at the thought of giving an oral report or presentation in class. Even the thought of walking around campus made me sick.

@kylesmith69 My parents knew that I had it but they could never really help me. I had to help myself. When you're around people think about a time when you've had a really good conversation with someone. Then think that all of those people around you are oppurtunities to have wonderful conversations and learn things from and be happy. I hope you are able to overcome this too :) You have to want it for yourself. Best of luck!

@kylesmith69 I've had the disorder since I was a child and I've finally been able to be comfortable in social situations. I'm in college too. I didn't talk to people much in my first year but I forced myself to practice even with strangers. If someone would sit next to me somewhere I'd say hello and ask a couple questions I'd prepared earlier. Are you waiting for a class? What's your name? What's your major. Once I get past the first sentence its much easier for me.

My mom had this, and now i KNOW i have this. So i guess it is genetic. It's unbearable in college, but i couldn't disappoint my parents so im just living with it for now, its gotten a lott worse since i started college, but im trying to overcome it. Thinking about getting help as soon as i start my second semester. Should i tell my parents though?, i dont want to freak out my mom though, cause she's always said that i was more like her and that she was worried about me

i always thought that being afraid of interacting with people was a part of my personality but i realised that it's SAD. i freak out if i'm the center of attention. it's really distressing to have this disorder. i do want to talk to people but i usually feel so nervous that i don't.

damn this thing sucks pray for all of us. I am poorly endowed (very) and have gynecomastic (male breasts), now i have stretch makrs all over for gaining 105 pounds parents dont undertand im in my mid twenties i did this to show them i have problems everyone criticized me--nobody cares even parents or brother just save money and try to be independent as possible, then you may decrease anxiety be exposure. What you focus on is how you feel I hope that helps.

SAD is highly treatable. Find a therapist trained in Cognitive Behavioral Activitiy (CBT). A few hours in therapy can results in years of benefit.

Eh this is true but yes, people are very critical these days and they are the ones who have made me the way I am , also because of myself too. Verbal abuse is so much more common than we may think!
