Has anyone got social phobia/social anxiety on here?

Question:

Answers:
I'm not really sure what it is. I live in a crowded place and people are everywhere. Does it mean fear of getting along with others?

Other Answers:
Not me, but I know 4 people who did. They saw a pshchologist, took medicine, and ALL are doing fine now. Hang in there. It can happen to anyone. You will need antideprescents for a while.

I would say I do a little. I only have a fear of introducing myslef to someone or being in a group where I'm the only one who doesn't know anybody. If someone comes up to me though and starts talking, I'm perfectly fine :)

Yes, it comes and goes. You just have to make yourself relax and if it gets worse see a doctor.

I deal with social anxiety. You are not alone. There are websites that have support groups for it.

i do. i cant stand being in a group with over 4 people (including me)

I get social anxiety sometimes when I am out in public by myself. I dont like it when people talk to me cause it gives me anxiety but for some reason no matter what kind of vibe I try to give off people always talk to me. I have no idea what to do about it though.

Yes. I deal with it. I stay in a lot.my work is not around a lot of people. Situational anxiety can strike up at anytime..I do my best, and sometimes even challenge myself to walk a couple of miles.however, coming home's that much better! I also know that I am then a step closer to integration socially.

I do! I have had it for about 25 years. I have been in treatment and on medication for about 15 years. You should see a professional and with the right treatment of therapy and medication you will be on the road to recovery in no time. Good luck and God bless, you will be in my prayers!

yes i have social anxiety disorder ..when im around alot of ppl i close up and think they r talkin about me and staring at me my chest hurts really bad i have had this for about 6 yrs now

personally, I don't, but my boyfriend does. he's getting better. you just need to get one person you trust and ask them to help you out. start with just getting one more person into the group and slowly introduce more people as you get more confident. it takes time, but you'll get there. medicines didn't help him but this has. until 4 months ago, he couldn't stay in a room with more than two people. now, he's ok to go out for dinner with a few friends of even to small barbeque dinners with 10 people. just look for one or two people you trust, let them help. it works.

I do. It is very dabilitating, for a long time i couldn't even talk on the phone and suffered great depression. Since i have been on new med's, though, i can go place's and talk to people, heck, if it wasn't for the med's i couldn't even be here!

Yes, I do. I've had it since I was about 5 yrs. old, I am 30 now. It has gotten better in some ways and worse in others. I am looking into CBT maybe, since none of the meds I have tried did any good. Good luck to you and to anyone who has SAD.

Yes. I've had social anxiety forever, it seems. I try hard to just deal with it - but I do stay home a lot, still, because of it. When I took xanax, that helped a great deal, but had to stop the med.

Yeah. I've been seeing a psychologist since I was little and just started medication.
