I deal with different anxieties I believe,though I do truly fall under the characteristics, signs and symptoms of Social Phobia. I am most comfortable being alone and do not like social situations at all. Some days are better than others. You never can track how social phobia/social anxiety will affect your day...you just know it will in some degree. I obsess about what I may have said wrong, how people think bad things, how much I am disliked and that people see me as just strange and out there. These thoughts are after social interactions. Prior to, there can be anxiety days before social interactions that paralyze me and makes me try to search for reasons not to attend gatherings. with medications, the anxiety has decreased and been a bit more controllable, though it is creeping back up again, even on meds. I am looking into group therapy and this is why I have signed up to this wonderful site.
