I was wondering where everyone had gone... I haven't heard from anyone on here, and wanted to check and see how everyone is. Has anyone had some good...

What's up with me socially? Well, some things changed and some things havent. I've been prescribed Prozac. I took myself off it after 3 months because I...

I think that awareness in and of itself is transformative. Just by becoming aware of how I react in social situations has brought me a long way towards...

Hey Sam, I'm glad that you and others seem to be interested in this. I've been in weekend personal-growth groups and seen the level of excitement and progress...
I think that for me being around others with the same issues as I'm dealing with would be a great help. We could learn a lot from each other and notice that...

I got banned from another forum because I guessed I sounded too much like an ad. I was really mad because I liked the forum. But, To keep it simple; If...
I sometimes worry about how I come off on here. I can talk to people just fine, however my writing isn't always the clearest. So why did they ban you from...

Hey Sam, Now I understand what you are saying. Are you following a particular program or philosopy? What you write below is the first step of CBT, but of...
I've studied some of the same stuff--I've been interested in psychology and how we work for some time now--and I notice a lot of overlap as well. I try to...

Mine is the fear of humiliation, of being put down, of being rejected, and of not fitting in. When looked at logically, my fears are much greater than the ...
Hmmm, interesting to try to define it. My problem is definitely with larger social gatherings. A general failure to connect with people. I easily perceive...
Awareness is defiantly a great start i find I get stuck in a rut sometimes where i just don't feel up to trying to improve. But at the moment I'm back on the...
since you asked, I have a published book I need to promote. but since this isn't the place and it's a little tacky, I wasn't sure about telling you all. As for...

Thanks for your help. I completely agree with the "map is not the territory" idea. In fact, I'll go so far as to say the Earth DOES NOT revolve around the Sun....

Another thing to consider is that all is fine if you do blush, too. Some people get over this by taking Niacin supplements, which causes them to blush all the...
I agree with a lot of what you said what frame of mind I'm in really affects how i precieve rejection eg if I'm in a positive frame and i feel things are going...
Well it seems to me there are two (interacting) dynamics going on when one feels/fears rejection in groups. The first is a heightened perception of negative...
