New and a little shy about this

[LovelyLiz]

Hi guys, I've had problems with social anxiety, and I'm looking for somewhere to talk about it. I'd rather be a little bit anonymous so I'd rather not give too many personal details, but the whole point of me being here is to try and open up a little bit more about my personal issues. Hopefully I can give a bit of advice as well!

Hi LovelyLiz and welcome. Maybe the annonymity of this forum can help you to open up. It might be the best thing for you, and the way that you can get some of your questions answered. You are among people who suffer from or who have suffered from the same thing, so hopefully something you hear in this community will be of help to you on your path.

Hi LovelyLiz, welcome to the forum. I've been on some where anonymity was a necessity, but to be honest, I've never seen anyone causing problems here, and if it happened, I think the admin would jump right in and handle it. I'm sure you'll settle in nicely, and after you look around and post a bit, you'll start to feel more comfortable, and will be able to open up. It's always good to keep some things to yourself online, but even posting in general about your situation/circumstances can help others to understand, and members here are very supportive.

I am also new to this site, and already I am comforted to see members so welcoming. I suffer from GAD and a form of panic attack disorder, and it's refreshing to see others that are also in the same state. It is fortunate that I have found a site and maybe someone to confide in.

Awesome! I am pretty new myself too but welcome to the site, I know how it can be and trust me even little steps can make all the difference in the world. So glad you made it here and welcome to the club =)

Hello and welcome to the forum. You should check out some of the social anxiety threads. They're really good and I've found that not only do I enjoy them, but they help me out a lot of the time. Hope you enjoy the site.

It's great to have you here. You don't have to be shy about speaking out about your problems. The only way the community can help you is if you share your experiences. No one actually personally knows you here, so you don't have to worry about your identity.


It nay take some time for you to open up, but don't hesitate to talk to us.

Thanks everyone - I wasn't expecting to have so many kind replies so quickly! I'll definitely join in on discussions when I find my way around!
