Am I Socially Anxious Or Just Shy – Overcoming Social Anxiety Disorder
June 14th, 2008 by AndyMatt at “Overcoming Social Anxiety Disorder” has written a very interesting Blog on the shyness and social anxiety disorder. Personally I choose to believe that the two are the same beast because they involve the same irrational fears. My social anxieties in some ways extend directly from my shyness as a kid, and because I was “just shy” I never learned to overcome my shyness into adulthood. “Just shy” became my excuse, lie and reason for being miserable and cut off from the world. I learned quite a bit reading Matt’s blog, and even though I don’t totally agree with everything, there the majority of what he says is spot on.
