Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Wish I could find a picture of a spider with a needle and post it without spoilers.

Do you really not grasp "phobias" chuuu? come on : p

well my friend was describing it as like irrational panic and distress, but i dunno i cant seem to imagine me feeling that lol

In cognitive models of social anxiety disorder, social phobics experience dread over how they will be presented to others. They may be overly self-conscious, pay high self-attention after the activity, or have high performance standards for themselves. According to the social psychology theory of self-presentation, a sufferer attempts to create a well-mannered impression on others but believes he or she is unable to do so. Many times, prior to the potentially anxiety-provoking social situation, sufferers may deliberately go over what could go wrong and how to deal with each unexpected case. After the event, they may have the perception they performed unsatisfactorily. Consequently, they will review anything that may have possibly been abnormal or embarrassing. These thoughts do not just terminate soon after the encounter, but may extend for weeks or longer. Those with social phobia tend to interpret neutral or ambiguous conversations with a negative outlook and many studies suggest that socially anxious individuals remember more negative memories than those less distressed.

My social anxiety isn't as bad as it used to be, but now I'm left without social skills.
