I know alot of you are sick of reading my
posts but I know the pain and suffering
alot of the people on this site are
experiencing. Going through life without
being in a relationship might sound funny
and comical to some people but in actually
it is very serious and depressing.
Trying your very best to be normal and
happy with no results is excrutiating.
You begin to wonder what is wrong with
you, you loose sight and hope of ever
being in a relationship, getting married,
having kids, and living a normal life.
Over 50% of those with social anxiety
disorder (sad)/ social phobia develop
others psychological problems, with major
depression being the most common. Also,
people afflicted with sad are very likely
to become alcoholics.
Sad affects more than just personal
relationships, it seeps into your school
ife (like being afraid to speak up or give
a speech), work (giving a presentation or
speaking to your boss), and even makes it
hard to get friends.
I just wanted to post a professional
psychological questionaire to help those
with relationship problems identify sad.
I highly recommend all those with symptoms
of lonliness and longing to be in a
relationship to take the social phobia
interest inventory (spin) at

if you think you might have it, or know
someone who does see a psychologist or a
psychiatrist. I wish someone would have
told me about it 8 years ago, I would have
had a better teenage/early twenties
life.
And please even if you dont have it,
spread the word about social anxiety
disorder to others who havent been on a
date, kissed a girl, and are suffering.
It is the 3rd most common psychological
disorder, affects 10% of the population
and sadly it is also one the least
diagnosed. It took at least 8 years of
my life, made it that much harder to
succeed and in the end nearly cost me my
life too. So please help those who might
have it, as some of them are unable to get
help.
Thank you for your time
