i really wish i wasnt true but i have to accept that i am. I know its SAD (social anxiety disorder). For some reason i cant make eye contact with anyone and for some reason in class i tend to cover my face because i feel like everyones looking at me. I also feel like im losing facial expression and that its kinda hard for me to make a normal face. i wasnt like this last school year and i fear im changing. i felt so nervous in the lunch the first day of school. and i dont know why. Im a pretty good looking guy so people do look at me quite alot and that makes it worse. i wish i could be normal again. i hate being nervous like everyday because i can never enjoy myself like i used to.

Have you tried marijuana? This time I'm serious! If it doesn't help with your problem at least people will just think you're a paranoid pothead.

It's pretty normal that you don't want treatment considering what needs to be treated. You seem to have a flat affect, so I would imagine that you dont feel the need to be treated when you clearly don't care. You might be psychotic and yes, maybe you do have some type of antisocial disorder. Do you think you'd feel remorse if someone close to you died, like your mother? Or if you were the person to kill her? If no, then I'd suggest you do seek professional help, otherwise, I wouldnt sweat it too much.. you might just not be a very sensitive person and while that isnt terrific, it isnt the worse thing in the world.

It certainly sounds like an anxiety disorder. My friend has one. You really should get some help,before it gets any worse.The anxiety of having people looking at you is making you obsess about what your face looks like etc. It sounds like something happened over the summer that led you to be nervous around people and when you started school it snowballed on you. It's nothing to be embarrassed over, but you should get some help fast while it is in it's begining stages. If your parents aren't your best source for help then go to the school counselor.But, do it right away, before the snowball effect makes this bigger than it already is........... Good Luck

If you're afraid of the dark, you must go and stand in the dark until you are no longer afraid. If you fear small rooms, then put yourself in a small room and breath.
You must do the same thing. Face your insecurities. For some reason (it came from your childhood) you don't think you're good enough, smart enough, articulate enough etc. Force yourself into these uncomfortable situations and face your fears.
You'll soon realize that the people around you are no different and suddenly powerful feelings will take the place of the anxieties you now face.

You should defiantly discuss this with a physician. Some other ideas is try to put yourself in situations with a group start out small then slowly make the groups size larger. I know this is hard to do so having a doctor helping along with this is the best course of action. I don't agree that is is a low self esteem issue as you said you are good looking. Good Luck.

You are a pretty good lucking guy!!!!! keep that in mind. Social disorder might be caused by an unbalance in brain´s neurotrasmiters. Medicines can help with this. But you have to ask the doctor for a recipe. Besides that you have to change your way of thinking, every time you start overanalising stop!

SAD is Seasonal Affective Disorder, don't know what you're on about, mate. Why don't you go for some hypno-therapy or self-esteem classes. Think about the reasons why you may be feeling like this--what is your home life like? Do your parents fight? (Or are you from a broken home), is there alcohol or drug abuse in the family, have you moved house recently, has someone close to passed away, are you being abused? It sounds to me like you're trying to hide yourself from the world, subconsciously. There IS a reason for it, you need to dig deep to find it. Good luck!!

It's time to see a doctor/psychologist before your problem gets worse. Take care of it now so you can get some relief from the situation.
GOOD LUCK

Maybe it's not a disorder,maybe you just are lacking in confidence. The best advice I can give you is to get counciling and see a therapist.

I don't believe it's no confidence. I have experianced the same thing, and people think it's because you think they are better than you and so overwhelmingly great and that is why you are nervous. But in reality those thoughts don't even have time to run through your head. It is just an inability to relax, and not be nervous because you would like to remain calm which triggers an obsessive inability to so it's like a mental block of sorts. The word confidence is often used incorrectly in my opinion. An example of no confidence would be thinking you can't accomplish something because you can never be good enough despite the fact it may not be an unreasonable goal. Your problem has to do with seratonin levels, and other chemicals in your brain. There are solutions such as taking your vitamins, eating properly, exercising for a couple of months and see if it gets better and if not then try medication.
