Hello

[AceR1mmer]

I have social anxiety disorder, had it when i was about 8 years old, then it went away but came back when i was 14.
Now im 21, almost 22 so ive had anxiety for most of my life so far.
Even though i believe anxiety has made me a better person, more caring and consious about other peoples feelings, i want to get rid of it so i can lead a more fullfilling life.
Im the nicest guy in the world as long as you treat me with kindness and respect.
So feel free to say hi.http://www.anxiety-panic-attacks-phobias.co.uk/images/smilies/smile.gif

Hello AceR1mmer:welcome: to you!

Another Janner then, yey! lol

I also suffer(ed) from social anxiety - and this site has definiteley had a great impact on my finally being able to deal with it.

And you're right - it is also my opinion that our 'issues' and experiences can serve to make us more sensitive and intuitive in many ways.

Anyway, you're not alone now - you're never alone here! And there are plenty of us to help and support one another.

Awright me 'ansome?!!

Pleased to meet you!

:)

lmao i love the way you type, how us Janners talk :D
Thank you for your warm welcome.
I can already tell this place is a great place to hang out.

Feel free to pm anytime:)

Hi Ace,

Welcome to NMP. I have also had anxiety since childhood although I'm much older than you! I just try to take it a day at a time and some days an hour at a time. I think with social anxiety you need to find a way to build up your self-esteem. Try to do something you enjoy and if it makes you feel good about yourself that might help. Take care.

Hugs,

Laura

[AceR1mmer]

Thanks for your kind welcome and advice Laura:)

*hugs*

ill give it ago!

hello ace,

welcome, hope u find this website very helpful. I too have suffered anxiety from a young age, but finding as im getting older is easier to deal with, and yes i would agree about making you a more conscience person with other peoples feelings, maybe a little too much for me though, lol. I try to do something everyday to make me feel like ive achieved something and when im really anxious i find music really helps. Welcome again and probably see you in chat, take care x

[AceR1mmer]

Thanks :D
I also find music helps calm me down, even rock or metal music, most likely cuz its distracting.
sorry to hear you've suffered like me, but you seam in good spirit :D
look forward to talking to you x
