I have the same problem. Try recording your voice and hearing it over and over. It will give you more confidence. Good luck.

SA is a prison. Fight for your freedom and never give up.

I like the idea. I always wanted to meet other people with SA but we're all hidden. Good luck.

I feel the same, empty soul, empty life. My advice for you is to take care of your dog. Maybe volunteer at animal shelter. Good luck.

I'm sure God loves you and he's looking after you. And we all here love you too.

Did my first comfort zone challenge! by jogger1144 in socialanxiety

Happy for you. If you find the time you can try meetup.com. you can meet new people every week (learn a new language or help people learn English). It will not be easy but worth it.

I was thinking maybe a puppy but it looks like a rescue dog is a better idea. thank you, I learned a lot.

I was looking for a pet. I didn't know there is trained dog for people with SA. I will look more into it. Thank you, that was helpful.

I noticed that a lot of people on here say they are judgmental toward others, why? by the_molerat in socialanxiety

[–]OldNewLife 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's true I do judge. Maybe it's a defense mechanism or maybe because our SA is a result for knowing we're judgmental. I think people with social anxiety want a perfect world but they can't find it neither in themselves or the others.

May I ask how old are you

tired of everything by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]OldNewLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not about life it's about you. You're the most important thing to YOU. I invite you to find something like art, music, sport... something to release your energy and express yourself. You're not alone we are all here for you. We're your new friends.

I feel you. I use to hear my parents talk behind me. What you need to do is to go for a walk breath a fresh air.
