Anxiety? obsessive compulsive or just a pussy?

[tempest2003]

hey all whats up, for the last 3 years or so i think ive become aware of perhaps a disorder that I may have. I have long avoided social and public places due to extreme embrarrisment over just about any little thing. This becomes much much worse if im near a good looking girl, if i ever have to stand one on one and try and hold a conversation with a hot girl im as good as toast. i get so worried about what people are thinking about what im saying that i stop thining about the conversation and start only thinking about what im saying and wondering how it sounds coming out. I cant even go to the doctor and tell him this, i tried at my last physical and even preped myself to know what iw as going to say, but when the pressure is on i choke and the words dont come out. My dad is bi polar, my brother has an anxiety disorder so there is potential for me to have some kind of disorder, but I have no idea what. please dont make fun of me, im dead serrious, im so anti social because of this its rediculous. Also when i have a hot girl in my class i start thinking about her a lot for a day or somthing and then when i see her again i just get so nervous i cant do anything, or even say hi! it changes day to day though and i still have the problem. ive never tried to really figure out what my deal is because i thought it was always just in my head, but I'm not so sure anymore. does this sound like anything anone else has had to deal with and overcome? thanks in advance.

I used to be 100% just like you.

I broke it when I went way up north to visit some friends of the family. Went to a gas station and there was a hot girl my age working behind the counter that commented on the way I talked and she thought it was funny. I said she talked funny (LOL thats all I could muster, I know this sounds like some shit from slingblade) and she said she thought it was cute blah blah... Well long story short she gave me her number without me asking. I called it and it actually worked! I thought she was prolly just fucking with me honestly. This girl was WAYYY out of my league and wanted to hook up, due to the time and being with family and only in town for a few days I couldn't make it but it did wonders for my self confidence.

When you go out of town just bullshit with the women, say things that are out of character for yourself. Whats funny is if you hit on a chick in a different town and she turns you down...so fucking what?

I used to be all paranoid of what people in my class thought of me and shit, and 6 months later I couldn't think of the seating arrangement in my classes.

Don't be so scared of rejection, it isn't like they are going to stab you or steal your soul or anything.
