im so stupid
just wondering ifi amthe only in here who gets so anxious about talking to other people that even trying to start an anonymousechat with a listener gets my heart beating faster, and theni usually chicken out.
I've always been able to to do forum posts for some reason though
i get anxious talking to known people. I prefer forum posts too for some reason but i don't mind talking to some (not all) listeners. A little uncomfortable but i still feel better.
I get really scared talkin to new people..
I feel that because forum posts aren't "live" per se, it's a lot easier to be able to convey our emotions and feelings in knowing that we might be talking to oblivion, or the fact that the people who do reply to our forum posts can relate in some sort of way :)
I always feel anxious and scared when talking to people or when talking in front of the classroom. Sometimes, it's hard tobreathe but i need to stop it because I don't want people judging me and telling me I'm dramatic or I'm over reacting.
I get this way in my class. Our grade is scored on participation only. This class makes me nervous just thinking about it. I go in there shaking and heart racing for the entire 2 hour duration of the class. Most the time, I don't say much because I get so nervous with the thought of talking in front of the class, then I get mad at myself becauseI know it's affecting my grade. It seems like I'm the only one in my class that has this problem, so it's really embarrassing for me.
I get more anxious when I've picked someone specifically. If its just the random generator I don't mind so much.
The members need that generator option I think, I don't realy like browsing and finding a listner. Please put the anonymous generator feature on members accounts too!
I always get nervous when talking, and if I do, I feel like whatever I say is so stupid. It doesn't help if I am trying to talk and someone talks over me. Feeling ignored just makes the anxiety worse. 
Talking to new people, talking to people I know, or even just doing common day activities or laying in bed I get so anxious and go into attacks. I can't do anything without having that anxiety there. It's like a monster consuming me.
I've just read all yr posts, and I feel exactly the same and have done for years. Feel very uncomfortable in social situations. I understand very much how yr feeling
It's called SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER.
