Social Anxiety Disorder Outfit Idea

A new SAD outfit a little bit more "Stand Outish". This outfit is for more calm settings like going to lunch or maybe your job depending where you work. Lots of these pictures are from google. I'm pretty sure you can find an outfit like this at forever 21 or macys. This is more of a cute casual look which I totally love. I think that people might look at you which is something you probably don't want but I feel that you will get lots of compliments that will boost your confidence. This outfit doesn't scream "HEY LOOK AT ME" it's more like a person that dresses well. Hope you like.
                                                                                                                        Sincerely,
                                                                                                                          Daff S.

New Year, New Me, New You

I am so sorry for not blogging for such a long time had to get ready for the new year lot of things that needed to be organized and left behind before entering the new year. My life is completely brand new for this year since it's 2013 I have my head up high and I'm ready for whats to come. I hope you guys are ready for this new year. I know it can be scary to enter the new year with Social Anxiety and being afraid that this year would be like last year . I know it's easier said then done but everyday we dwell on our anxiety instead of just putting it behind us and trying to think positive. I'm not saying that you should throw yourself in social situations because I know how hard that can be but what I am saying is that you should think about doing it. Picture yourself doing these things convince yourself that you can do these things. Don't feel bad when you can't do it just think everyday I'm going to go out today and have fun even if it may be myself I'm still going to try to focus on whats out there for me. Like instead of thinking about what people think of you just try to think " I DON'T CARE WHAT PEOPLE THINK" Repeat that over and over every time you start getting really anxious. Don't second guess yourself when you think , that the little voice in your head is about to come out and say " Go back home you can't do this" You block it by saying " YES I CAN AND I WILL". Give it a try this is a new year try to take those risks. I really would like if someone commented on my posts so I can be able to have an idea of what your going through. Don't be afraid to post I'm here to help. We can get through this together. Hopefully come out of this as a Success Story. Happy New Year !!! Also changed the look of the blog a bit :)

                                                                                            Sincerely,
                                                                                               Daff S.

People

Do you ever feel that if people didn't judge you, you wouldn't really mind having social anxiety. Do you think that maybe SAD is more of a concern because people question it. I always build my confidence when I'm alone. I assure myself that I should be greatful for everthing I have instead what I don't have. But when I'm around people they make me feel like I'm missing out when I'm alone I feel fine. Sometimes I think it's best if I just avoid people. But I'm afraid that I might regret that in the future. There's nothing wrong with spending time alone but for how long. People piss me off but there are days when I piss myself off too. I don't know we will see what the futures unfold. How do you feel is it better to be alone or not alone.

                                                                                 Sincerely,

Relationships

Social Anxiety Disorder can affect many relationships in your life whether it be family, friends or your boyfriend/girlfriend. The reason social anxiety affects these relationships is because not only are you afraid of social interactions but you also choose to avoid them instead of facing them. People with social anxiety would rather stay indoors then having to face the world. Now you can't blame us for being afraid its not that we don't want to go out and have fun but just like any phobia we get extremely anxious to the point of feeling faint. You wonder why they can face there fear one day and go outside and then on another occasion they can't, well let me explain when people are afraid of spiders and choose to try to face there fear and go near or even touch a spider just to get rid of the fear, but that doesn't mean that they will go near one ever again maybe in time similar with social phobia. You can face it one day and then maybe the next you can't. Also there are many stages where you feel more scared then other times. So next time try to understand instead of judging because that will just increase the persons phobia.

                                                                                             Sincerely,
                                                                                               Daff S.

Environments

What makes people brave to do what they want. Do you ever feel as if where you live impacts your personality. Like living in the city makes you more afraid to go out. If only you lived in a suburban area you would be able to go outside. Is it the environment that impacts who we really are and molds us into this scared person. Or do people in suburban areas still struggle with SAD. Do you think that moving to an area that has less people will help you get over SAD. I don't honestly know if my SAD would be better if I moved to a suburban area but I do wonder if that's the case. How about you do you think your environment is whats causing your SAD? Maybe. Maybe not.
