Yeah, I usually.. resist my own problems. Sometimes I do, but when I find that I don't it's easier to get into a dark place and give up.
I was wondering because I was diagnosed with it, and in therapy I've been spoken to and my advice has been moderated around the fact that I'm afraid around everyone. So.. when I hang out with a guy friend it's a big deal to my T when in reality it wasn't as much a big deal as trying to hang out with a girl friend and feel.. normal? With one therapist I had spoken to I was so confused that I ended up saying I had NO social anxiety and they accepted it. Then that one part of my problems was left neglected and got a little worse without the support it needed. But thanks for clearing this up for me, now I can tell my T tomorrow that it only applies to certain people, and not just blow the issue off all together.
