i used to be until i decided the type of career i wanted and then i had to move away to join a course. I started to get to know one or two people and luckily i meet a wonderful guy in the house we shared and three years later we're still together.
Just start small and never force your self to go out if you don't want to, you'll only end up hating it even more.
If you want to talk more e-mail me.
Hope this helps.

What do social anxiety, depression, and social phobia have in common?
They are all terms for 'being too self-absorbed', and terms people are more comfortable admitting to having.
But they really mean they you have a tendency to make everything ALL ABOUT YOU, all the time.
You worry what people think of you, how you appear to others, things happening to you, about you, for you, and because of you.
See? It's you, you, you, you, you, you......
If 2 out of 5 people have some kind of social anxiety, (and they are only concerned with themselves) then how could everything possible be all about you?
SA is simply a negative self-talk "filter" that you perceive the world through. The way to get rid of this filter, is to force yourself to make it 'all about others'.
You take the first steps by smiling at everyone (they'll think you won a car). You take the next steps by making eye contact with every other peoson you encounter.
You take the next steps by complimenting people and making positive observations. People dress certain ways, have certain things, and go certain places just to be noticed. So let them know you noticed their effort with a friendly remark.
The next steps include asking questions. Compliments and questions start to build rapport. Volunteer little about yourself, and make it all about them. Push their "I want to feel important" buttons. Listen to them.
Make someone's day, every day. You have so much power within yourself to do that. It will make you feel good to do. Do this unselfishly and generously. It comes back to you.....
Give to others what you want from them for yourself. Seek to understand before expecting to be understood. Be a giver and you will receive.

Well yeah but if you want a healthy relationship you should really work out your phobia first. See a counselor and ease into this with small gatherings of people.
When you meet a great guy you want to be ready for it and happy.

You can but it would be hard. Do you have a friend or relative who could introduce you to others who could explain your situation? Maybe you could see a counselor who could lessen the effects of the phobia. Good Luck, and God Bless.

Yes you can date.But you have to deal with your social anxiety first,because you might get really nervous/anxious and and get dizzy.Often people say yes and go do it,but you have to question your feeling's.Will you be able to handle it?and which way's can approve your relationship's.You need to think positive thought's.

U r not social phobic but u more like quiet environment.
U r like me. I'm 19 too, but i prefer to spend my time in my room or watching TV... i more like quiet environment but that is not mean i never chill out. but i prefer to chill out with my friends on the nite. nite is the very quiet time...
