Social Anxiety
Anyone ever have issues with social anxiety before?

I've noticed myself being uncomfortable with large crowds of people as far back as 3rd or 4th grade. Recently though, I'm noticing it around people all together. Yesterday we had a medium size group for Easter dinner, mostly family, and I didn't really talk to anyone. Sometimes I have difficulty going to class because I'm afraid I'll be judged, or God forbid the professor puts us into a small group to do an activity.

Any thoughts or opinions are welcome.

Panic Attacks

I had my first one when I was in grade school. I had them in a big way all the way through College. I hated being somewhere that I believed I couldn't just get up and walk out of whatever/whenever I wanted to (class rooms, church, meetings, etc). I assume it was/is some form of claustrophobia I suppose. It's also an issue of control. I have a significant need to be in control at all times.

At times, it was so bad that I literally thought I was going to have a heart attack - flop sweats, rapid heart rate, dizziness, etc. I self medicated with prayer, meditation and Jack Daniels - mainly prayer and meditation. Today, I have to talk my way though it and rationalize what I am going through. It calms me down and I manage. At 47, I suppose I will never outgrow it, but I do feel more confident that I can "deal with it" in a less intrusive manner.

If you were to meet me, you would NEVER know this is a part of who I am. I am a very outgoing, Type A personality. I'm not trying to mask it. I just refuse to let it define me as a person and to let it control my life (any more than it already has).

I really did.

I ended up ****ing 3 chicks within a month or so of losing my virginity. It was strange to go from getting no puhh to swimming in it.

Oh shit, I just remembered that you're the guy who had the medical scare a few weeks back.

Dude, minimize the fast food/soda and start being a little more active. Taking better care of yourself goes a hell of long way to reinstilling confidence in yourself.

I probably have some kind of social anxiety. I don't like crowds, I don't like meeting people, I even have a hard time going out with a lot of my friends. I don't want to deal with customers; just give me a pair of headphones and a corner of the office and let me process paperwork all day and I'll be fine. I hate being recognized or even noticed, I will never ever dance in public, and at parties I tend to stand in the corner. The biggest perpetual hurdle I have with my schoolwork is when they put us in groups with strangers and we all grade each others' work. People suggest I become a teacher or a professor, but I really have little interest in getting in front of a room full of people and have them all. watching. me. I hate that.

I also don't care if I have a social anxiety. I have a perfectly good life, doing what I like alone or with the few people I love, without feeling the burning need to make new friends.

Talking in front of a large group of people, no problem.

I'm very comfortable in leadership positions when I know everyone well, or when everyone is standing around with their hands in their pockets waiting for someone to step forward.

Throw me into a room full of strangers in a mixer situation and I can't wait to leave. Work in progress.

That's me. Although I did figure out that for some reason the blood pressure medication I was taking was making my anxiety 100 times worse.

I wasn't as antisocial as you are, but the thought of standing in front of people every day sounded absolutely miserable to me when I was in college as well. Then I actually had to do it as a TA teaching Freshman Composition in graduate school in order to pay for my education, and I started to love being in front of a classroom. YMMV, though.

I know this is really painful for some people. We have all seen people who seemed ordinary completely meltdown when confronted in a group or needing to give a public speech. I am as comfortable talking to 100 people as I am 1. That's a blessing.

The odd thing for me is that I'm actually more comfortable in front of a large group of people, as opposed to being around 4-5 friends or peers. Even family members at this point.

I'm not in awful shape though. I'm about 5'9 and weigh 176 pounds. Eating healthier might make me feel better physcially though.
