Salce

I was actually diagnosed with SA.

Its a constant feeling of being threatened, which sends your brain into 'fight or flight' mode, where your thinking ability is literally retarded.

The challenge is to remain relaxed and playful in unfamiliar social groups.

There's no silver bullet but I've found it important to keep having positive social experiences. There are drugs available which reduce anxiety symptoms, but they can have nasty side effects, its something to consider though.

Always keep your sense of humour too
