Socially awkward??

[SAGE19]

I can relate sometimes when I get nervous I can be very talkitive, like if there is an awkward silence when Im with a group of friends or socializing with new people. This makes me think that I talk to much, so I tell myself to shut up, when really what Im doing is only trying to get to know the other person. I do have some trouble socializing, but its after Im done socializing adn that I've gone home that I start to analyze every single thing I said and it starts like "oh I should have said this" or "maybe they think Im wierd cause I said this". Celeron has a good point this is what makes us who we are and we have to learn to accept it

I just started the program and I didn't thing anyone else beside me had that problem. I try to avoid soializing,if I do socialize and I start to feel nervous I walk away.I'm afraid that I won't know what to say next. I haven't told anyone about my problem, not even my husband.

The social problem is a big thing for me, Infact I think it may even have led on to my generalised anxiety, panic attacks and depression, IE they where a symptom of my social anxiety/phobia. Even now, I've not had a panic attack in years or even general anxiety but my social problems are still here. And while this program is a godsend, Lucinda is 1 person who certainly has no social problem, She is the life and soul of the party, While I can relate to Lucinda on so much, Social anxiety is an issue thats not even touched upon in the program
