Hello

[Lugoman]

Hi, I am new here.

I've been experiencing social anxiety my entire life (39 yrs old), and I'm beginning to see the absurdity of it but I just cannot help it. When I'm in social situations my mind just seems to fog over and I cannot piece together a coherent thought. I've never taken part in a forum of this type before and I'm feeling a little silly just typing my thoughts here.

Anyhow, I hope to overcome this someday. I've tried seeing a counselor once and it felt very uncomfortable, she didn't seem to believe that I'm having difficulties. Oh well, I look forward to comparing notes with others here and hopefully get some tips on how to cope with this.

Hi Lugoman,

Welcome to the forum!
I'm sorry your first counseling try didn't go well. Have you tried others? I had to hunt around to find a good one. But it's worth the effort if you need help!

Hi Lugoman

Welcome to the forum.

I too have social phobia and have found the support from members of this site has helped me enormously. I went from not seeing or speaking to anyone to meeting other members at meet ups last summer. It's not easy but it is do-able.

You'll find we are a friendly bunch here.
