I wouldn’t call mine a “phobia” I mean, a “phobia” is an IRRATIONAL fear. I feel that past experiences of pain can justify certain fears. Is someone who got bitten by a brown recluse spider and managed to survive an “arachnophobe”?
i have bipolar, but i still get anxiety as well …..could it be linked ?
I can’t over come mine. I feel stuck in my own world its not as easy as it seems to get confident…I can’t stand it. Now im stuck on xanax.
dont worry your not a weirdo. As you grow up you’ll eventually learn to become comfortably with yourself and then others will be comfortably around you then inturn your anxieties will fade away. SOCIAL PHOBIA is just a stupid name they give to this which makes it sound really bad.
yes thats exactly right its all about being confident and comfortably with yourself
i hope so lol cuz my family thinks im soo weird
this is sum TRUE ****!…but i thnk that once you become self confident and comfortable in yourself you’ll be fine
hahah lmao!…nice one
yes the same thing use to happen to me also, dont worry you’ll eventually grow out of it, its a stage some people go through.
sometimes i run from the door when family comes over and i hide :S
You know you are old when you **** and end up crapping yourself consistently lol
You can access your subconcious. How else would you be able to recall memories in a heart beat.
When a memory goes to your long term memory it’s associated with multiple images & or sounds.
You witness something tragic – it goes to your long term. Why ? Because multiple links were created in your brain simulatenously in one shot. This is why soldiers deal with Stress Disorder.
Do you know how to tell that you are getting old?
When no one laughs at you when you fall.
Our brain is the most advanced computer in existance. Whomever created us & put us here is a computer genius. You can copy paste delete & overwrite files with the proper techniques. Long term memory is the same thing as
EEPROM. Erasable Electrical Programmable Memory.
For you to understand this you would have to be a computer geek. The Matrix is very real. You would begin to grasp this when you learn more about computers & programming.
Every programming language is the same. All Math!
i have 1 thing to say we are not computers we cant copy paste delete *** and i thought your subconcious brain is something you cant acees while in conciousness
I can’t take it anymore. This is no laughing matter, this is real. I hate it so much. I can’t talk to anyone about it because it’s too complicated. Nobody I know understands.
All the drink does for me is numb the whole problem..It’s the only form of medication that has ever helped in anyway and made it bareable…I have seen councillors and I don’t trust them one bit, I’m convinced they judge me too..
My wife/husband is the only person I trust and that has took a few years, still now I sometimes go totally insecure and lose that trust, but I tell her/him when this happens..
I guess trusting just one person enough is the key to some of this problem
It’s nice to know you have the same problem with family, I tought I was alone here…Mine goes so sever that I can’t even use a real id on the internet, I hide behind posting id’s and am so careful to what information I ever write..it’s kinda like I am convinced someone will read what I write and say “hey that’s so and so, I know who he/she is”
Miserable existence in a lot of ways
This is incorrect. You don’t solve problems by running away from them. You must confront the issue.
The objective is to associate new feelings to the experience which cause the anxiety.
One way is using EFT ( Emotional Freedom Technique )
It re programs the sub conscious! You can’t delete or change the images in your brain once it’s there. However, you can change the feelings.
That is the key to eradicating all anxiety.
most may think you just get social phobia around people you dont know but bloody hell i get this happen around my own family, so what does that tell ya !!
I’m only my true self when I’m in front of the computer. Everything I do on here reflects who I really am. In the outside world, I just clam up. I can’t be myself at all. Too much fear.. Like it’s strangling me from living.
And drinking only helps the nerves. I’m no more social with the booze than without it.
Crikey, looks like there’s a shitload of people with social phobia. I can empathize…
Having survived a catastrophically brutal and violent childhood, I spent every moment figuring out ways to avoid social situations, pretended to bend down to tie my shoelaces (to avoid people), made up diseases and injuries, anything to avoid people-all the while handling some of the world’s deadliest animals completely without fear…Now that I’ve virtually beaten it, I’ll upload vids next week to help out…
You know, I use to be obese when I was younger and I believe that was mainly the reason why I suffer social axiety disorder. Now, I’m not as fat as I use to be and I do feel more comforable around people or in public. Though I still have trouble socializing. I mean, I’ve been homebound for like a year and a half since i’m not in school or working or find friends to hang out with and…………………..not fun. lol
