    Re: longing to be normal

    Hi Andrea,

    I just wanted to let you know that I can understand how you're feeling. I have social anxiety & low self-esteem & low self-confidence. I also get the feeling that other people don't like me. I find it difficult to make phone calls & answer the phone. (Though I think that I'm not as bad with this as I used to be as I keep doing it). I also hate getting my photo taken.

    Although I have started going out a bit more over the last month I would have found it very difficult to go anywhere and have an awful 'dread' of having to face someone that I knew or having to talk to them in case I got really 'anxious'. The times that I have went out I have always found that the worrying about it beforehand is worse than when I'd actually get there.

    Best wishes xx
