Hello
I´m so curious about if anybody out there suffering from Social Phobia has similar
thoughts and feelings . I just would like to know wheter this is common or not in you guys.For example.
If I am with a person , I´m always thinking about what the other people is thinking about me.
lets say for example , I am in a restaurant with 3 or 4 people , we finish eating and then the bill has to be payed . The waiter brings the bill to the table and puts it in the center. I get very freaked if I don´t take the bill first to pay , this is because the other people migth think that I dont want to pay the check ,that I want somebody else to pay for my meal , because I want to take advantage of them and many things like that.Other example would be , If I see a person that ask me to buy him any kind of stuff he sells , like a pencil or a flower , . It is very difficult to me to say "No I´m not interested rigth now , thank you" , If I do this , and dont buy anything to the guy , I immediately start thinking about all the bad things that the seller has in his mind about me , like : you are
a very mean person , Look at me I´m poor and you dont want to help me , you dont suffer like me all the day trying to sell this stuff only to have the sufficient money to barely eat 1 time a day etc etc . SO I Feel very frustated.This feelings are just and example but I could say a thousands of them more .They are always with me during all the day . The more people I see the worse my thougths are , so I feel very terrible .This is why is impossible to me to have relationships in life
Does anybody out there has something a little similar ??
or can you tell me how do you feel in front of people??
