> May I ask a question? Was there a period in your life before your health declined that was plagued by overwhelmingly stressfull/uncontrollable situations?Well, the social anxiety started to bug me in grade 9(four years ago) I remember fighting desparetly to keep friends and that kind of thing. I cant say ive ever had a horrible single event like someone close who died or anything like that. Is this what you mean? My sp really just started and i cant really remember anything setting it off. I have to say it strikes as being biological, as almost everyone in my family exhibits strong symptoms of sp. Although, i suppose i could be learned behavior.

My social anxiety seems different from others in some ways. Im actually not all that anxious but spontanious chatting knocks me off my feet. Believe it or not, giving something like a speech to a relitively large croud is not all that hard for me. I know that i have good information planned out so im not worried. Its being talkative and spontainious, even with the closest people in my life, that throws me off and i dont have a single person i feel comfortable talking to.
Thanks for your help
