Is it just me, or does anyone else go through this horribly embarassing feeling when you're around people?
Ok, let me make it more clear: Does anyone else smile uncontrollably around anyone for no reason at all? I know I have social anxiety disorder... but I've never met anyone else with it and I've never talked/typed to anyone else who's had it as bad as I've got it. - It's like, I can't stand being alone anymore 'cause, when I am alone, I start to tear myself apart inside thinking about things I should've said and things I should've done. A lot of times I even question why I'm here. Other times I feel a bit ok, but then I start to hear voices. But then at the same time, I can't stand being around people... 'cause the anxiety is overwhelming. I have no control over myself... and at the same time, I have too much control over myself. I'm way too self-conscious and I can't even be me anymore.. not even around my family. If you've ever heard the song "Flesh Into Gear" by CKY... that pretty much explains part of what I've feeling. And just 'cause I wanna share the song... here's the lyrics. ======================== I can’t expect you to see Me when I’m not around And my voice is destroyed By confinement of sound I’m a human machine Laced with hidden disease If the future looks bleak Then you’re connected to me Flesh into gear Myself appears dissected and pretentious A simple sound a heavy sigh Could win the whole world over You live in fear of being someone that you didn’t want to I realize your insecurities will get the best of you A traitor’s embrace How foolish how wrong Contained in one place Anxiety spawns Unopened reowned What’s needed upscaled Digested inhaled Unwilling unwound Flesh into gear Myself appears dissected and pretentious A simple sound a heavy sigh Could win the whole world over You live in fear of being someone that you didn’t want to I realize your insecurities will get the best of you ======================== |

i tend to keep a blank expression more than smiling too much. as in "stay away from my personal space". when i do interact, i smile and laugh and talk. my social anxieties aren't as bad as they used to be. goood luck, pat
