Hey sh05hp, hope …
Hey sh05hp, hope you’re well. I’m a 27 year old (almost 28) guy and I also suffer from Social Anxiety, lately it’s been getting worse. I can hardly look people in the eye sometimes and when I do it looks like I’m scared, its like I just give them this cold stare, they probably think I’m a weirdo or something. I’m so shy sometimes, alot of people think Im really confident but those people only see me when I’m out and about and have had a few drinks.

I can totally …
I can totally relate to you… I also know these kind of situations, where somebody looks at me- or at least that’s what I imagine -and I totally freak out (can’t breathe, blush, heartrate probably about 3000 beats/min etc etc).
I always think about, what would be the ‘normal’ thing to do now, and the fact that I just can’t react that way, makes me feel really stupid and insane, also because I know it’s ridiculous to be so anxious because of such a thing…

I can totally relate to you…
I also know those kind of situations, where somebody looks at you (or at least that’s what you think… cause for me it’s enough to IMAGINE everybody looking at me to freak out :/ )and you wonder what they think and I personally just never know how to react, what would be the ‘normal’ thing to do…and I always think people look inside of me, feel my anxiety, etc etc, which is probably NOT true, they just randomly look at me, without thinking about anything xD

what’s kinda …
what’s kinda interesting about your situation is that u more than likely aren’t imagining people looking at u..they are probly looking at u because they are checking u out, or jealous of your looks lol..u should strut around and be proud of that..cause man oh man u are very cute and pretty..i can guarantee that mostly every who looks at u, it’s because of this reason..when u walk out in public and u feel people staring at u, remember my comment..let it make u feel sexy, not anxious!

Well everybody …
Well everybody doesn’t have to have kids. You could just find someone to love later in life and live happily like that . I know kids are important but I’m starting to doubt if I’ll ever be ready for that kind of responsability with all the problems I live with

unfortunately even …
unfortunately even at 28 it is too late. ill never be able to have kids because by the time im ready for such things itll be years. yes i know some ppl have kids later in life but i dont agree with it. yes a man can concieve kids until he’s 100 but theres more to parenting than that, you gotta have the energy to raise the kid, i dont wanna be changing diapers when im 50, because then ill have missed out on my youth with my anxiety then get fucvked out of my older years to relaxe with kids.

I know, but …
I know, but sometimes you just need to hear some positive stuff to get through the day. I’m sorry to hear that you’ve given up on so many things. But you’re only 28 and you can still have a good life. I’m considering taking SSRI for the SA, I want to have a normal life too =/. Even though I’m against meds things just don’t improve.
