Social Disorders?

Hi all ,





I would like to get a clear perspective of whats going with me .


I have a bad social problem ... I find it difficult to look at people in their eyes and makes it hard for me to move about in social places . I tend to be extremely self conscious and morover I feel if ppl are watching me . I try to make sure I am not doing anything awkward etc..and event the slightest act in front of public makes me nervous . For eg. I just went to shop and I know the guy out there... I find it difficult to look at him and smile , my eyes just drop off and I feel weird... I wonder whats the reason ... Its difficult for me to look at people and give a gentle smile .


Can someone say whats the reason ? How do I go about improve ... Please give me some nice suggestion ..


Btw , any one who had such experiences ? How to cop up with


it ?





Thnx a lot ...

Social Disorders?
you seem to be suffering from Social Anxiety Disorder.I guess this because i experienced the same problem what u r suffering from.


The best way is to approach a good psychiatrist immediately and take medications if necessary.Medications for some months can prove to be fruitful .Also i suggest, avoid being alone as this might take your mind to dangerous thoughts.Do what interests you, such as watching tv,playing computer games,drawing,gardening etc.you will soon recoup from this problem.

You could start by focusing your eyes on someones chin when you say hello to them.


Gradually over time you can move your eyes ever so slowly up to their nose and then finally to their eyes. Take it slow. Rome was not built overnight.
Reply:It sounds like you have what I have but maybe my situation is a little worse. You said you went to a shop and you found it difficult to look at him and smile. In my case, I wouldn't even bother going to the shop in the first place because I get extremely nervous. You probably have a case of social phobia. Although I haven't been to therapy, I suggest you try it. I cope with my social phobia on a day to day basis. I still get extremely nervous in certain social situations but I know I have to do these things to get through life. Good luck!
