social phobia --improper concern
Watch this 
View More Posts
As sufferers of social phobia ,there is always an improper concern during the social activities they are being involved in ,such as talking with others .During this period normal people fix attetion on understanding the content of the talk or something like things they are supposed to do .But if you have social phobia ,you will be just concerned only with the slight change on yourself and even forget the major content of the talk .

Now we can see where the real question is really at .With the social phobia ,we always think of these things happening on us as abnormal .You may be puzzled on “why not the others but just me?”The truth is that all these changes and behaviors can’t be more normal .Everyone has them .It is just the matter of more for one and fewer for the other.If you are having social phobia ,you can understand what I am saying that how those small problem become a bit larger just because of overmuch self-attention paid onto you and repulsion against them .

" well said. its almost impossible to listen and respond to others when we are so scared of how we are acting and communicating. for anyone who is interested in meeting others with social anxiety disorder go to meetup.com and check for groups in your area. these groups meet in public places and give those with SAD the chance to meet others like them. this is good practice for other situations in which these practiced skills would be used.
