Hey Jessy I found this site last night and decided to join, I've beenreading your thread and I must say you've come a long way!! I'm proud of you! ( not sure how much that means coming from an stranger lol) but I mean it and I don't know what you did to turn your attitude around so quickly from the first post I read but it seems to be working well and I wish I could make that Kim of progress. I feel like my social problem has ruined my reputation becaus I live in a small enough city that everyone knows who I am. But I avoid them all out of fear of saying something stupid, I used to hang with some of these people but now it seems like I hve only 2 friends. I don't know what I said or did or how things ended up this way but it sucks. I'm lonely. Not even my mom will go for a coffee with me. I spend all my time home with my son, or my boyfriend who I'm sure hates me. Just like you and the pet shop I avoid certain places so I don't have to see certain people. I'm sick of living like this. I feel like the only person in the world who doesn't know how big of a loser I am is my son, and I'm scared to death he's going to find out when he gets older and think that of me too. Even on here I see you all seem to know each other so posting this I feel like the lonely loser who just wandered in off the street. What a life!!!

Hey thank you! It means a lot, coming from a stranger or not. I'm glad you joined; welcome!

My attitude has changed because I got tired of my life as it was. I knew something had to be done and somehow I figured out what I needed to do. You too can have the life you want. Just don't be afraid. Please stick around the forum and anything you might have trouble with- ask someone about it. There are lots of friendly people here that will do anything they can to help you succeed.

You should talk to your bf and tell him how you feel. As far as your son, simply give him your 100%.

Sweet.

Yes, I tend to practice this opposite of fear also. It works on most cases but some things are easier said than done.

I have almost overcome social anxiety. I don't fear to speak my mind and share my opinion. Funny to think about how I once thought I will never overcome this, I used to shake badly in social situations and public speaks.
I have overcome the fear of opposite sex.
I have almost overcome the fear of heights. Walked on 3000m cliff edges, above clouds, etc. Rode my bike in really steep places.

But how do you overcome the fear of future? -- I cannot even figure out it is irrational! I don't know the future! Somehow I feel it is just best to die as soon as possible.

Live in the present and enjoy it!

I know is way easier said than done...
