In reply to Peering into the Future..., posted by Angela2 on May 30, 2004, at 20:16:53
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about your life. It sounds painful for you right now. I wish there *were* a way to peer into the future and see the outcomes of all the possible decisions you could make.
It does sound like you have some good things going on too. For example, you are finding things that you can do that don't cause you anxiety (like artistic activities). And it seems like a good idea to think about work that wouldn't require much social interaction.
It must be tough dealing with school when you're struggling with social anxiety. I've always been shy, but not really socially phobic, and I've had trouble with school especially. Not with learning things, just with dealing with the people who I don't know. Although I've noticed that as I get older, my anxieties in social situations become more manageable. I hope the same will happen for you.
