When even Dealing with others with Social Phobia Causes Anxiety

It's been awhile. This blog was never meant to be anything more than a personal space to talk about my personal experiences of nearly 30 years dealing with social phobia aka social anxiety disorder. I am not a medical professional or a therapist- just someone who has lived this $#%^ ( stuff).

Over the past year several readers have contacted me through my personal website to discuss social anxiety. If you have it or know anything about social anxiety you know how difficult it is to deal with others.

I have found it is no easier dealing with others with S.A. The other night I found myself depressed because at one time I was having email conversations with 5 people. However all of those people simply stopped responding or haven't responded in months.

All of these people found me on my website and sought out the conversation with me. We discussed very personal things.

So what did I say or do to run-off several people, even those who also have social anxiety?
