I have do a 40 minute presentation on Social Anxiety Disorder for my psych class I am having a hard time finding any movies or tv shows that depict a character with SAD or talks about SAD and I was wondering if anyone knew of any movies or tv shows that show this?
I never realized how many until now, but here’s a few:
Waiting
The Net
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Napoleon Dynamite
Punch Drunk Love
Amelie
As good as it gets
Can anyone think of a good game/some way to involve the class that I can include in my 20 minute presentation? I already have a question at the beginning that people can raise their hands for. It’s by myself, and I don’t want to just give everyone a quiz on if they have social anxiety disorder or not because a lot of people already did stuff like that in their own presentations. Any ideas? thanks!
"Two Truths and a Lie."
Each person called on by the speaker (you) tells two truths about themselves… and a lie… in any order. Then people raise their hand and say which one thing they thought was the lie. It’s funny because some of the oddest things turn out to be true… and some of the most believable are the lie.
Mine is "I have 7 children, I am an internet-ordained minister and I was born in Belgium."
I’ve never actually been to Belgium 
My friend told me that a lot of doctors have started prescribing alcohol to treat social anxiety disorder. He says he has a prescription for bacardi rum and that is why he is always drinking it. Is this true or is he pulling my leg?
I don’t think your friend is telling the truth.
I never heard of a doctor prescribing alcohol for anxiety.
It’s probably a joke.
I have all the symptoms of Social Anxiety Disorder and it has really interfered with my life. I don’t know how to tell my parents and ask to see a professional to make sure and maybe put me on some medication. I can’t even talk to people, or have some talk to me with out blushing and getting sweaty and if I do talk to someone I always feel like I regret everything I said. I avoid all situations where someone could possibly socialize with me.
You need to find a quiet time and tell them what you have said here. The beginning of the conversation
will be the hardest part. Chances are that if you are as anxious as you seem, your parents have
already noticed and are waiting for you to say something to them. If they were to come to you and ask
they might be worried that they were planting the thought in your head.
Your parents want what is best for you. Remember that.
Think about it for a second before you answer… wouldn’t they be too afraid of even making an appointment with someone or talking to a doctor about it to tell them what’s going on? I mean, I’m terrified of talking to anyone, so I don’t know, maybe I have social anxiety disorder, but "anyone" includes doctors and everything, so there’s no way in hell I could ever work up the nerve to actually tell anyone that in real life. I can’t even deal with calling a friend on the phone to ask about a homework assignment, let alone a complete stranger to make an appointment to talk about something that’s actually embarassing! So what I don’t get is how anyone can actually be diagnosed with social anxiety disorder, cause it seems to me that if they made it as far as being diagnosed then the probably don’t have it.
Ok, everyone so far has pretty much missed the point. I’m actually perfectly happy most of the time to be alone, but the point is that if I DID want to get treated for "social anxiety disorder," I wouldn’t be able to because it would make me too nervous, and if I could do it then I wouldn’t have need to be treated in the first place. Get it?
You can go to the doctor and explain it to him or her. They will prescribe medicine for it. A friend of mine takes some anxiety meds and it makes her feel more at ease.
Ok, Im just discussing the topics of Anxiety disorders, Social Anxiety Disorders…and such and how it relates to me;D
Alright so, Im not sure if I have social anxiety or not but I do tend to overthink everything a lot. I used to walk in the hallways really fast and everytime someone came up to me to talk; I was really afraid. I was always by myself. I would come home and sit alone. I hardly ever talk to anyone. I didnt know what was wrong with me. ANd I get really insecure when people look at me and I always have this tendency that people will come up and say something mean to me. I just dont know what would happen to me if I dont talk. I actually like to talk. I dont know If I really do have social anxiety disorder or not. Trying to figure out right now. How you think it is. Well, I always have this feeling that people will leave me. That I am not a good enough friend or people dont want to be my friend. If I have friends, I tend to be more outgoing and open to talking. ANd also if something happens, I dont want to go after it. Other symptoms related to it. Cannot do things by myself. Need help from my mother. ALways so self-conscious about my looks and everything. Always wanting to look a certain way. Also, I think social anxiety disorder is also related to other disorders; General anxiety disorder. ALso related to growing up. It can also be diagnosed as an anxiety disorder some people who think too much think it is an social anxiety disorder. ALways self-conscious about things, overthink everything, if my friends like me. Yeah Basically cant do anything myself. You guys ever feel like that. Worthless or useless. Thought of comfort and be able to socializ…very affecting in a way…
Feel free to talk more on what Social Anxiety Disorder really is…or if people really do have it…? Lol
FEEL FREE TO LEAVES ANY COMMENTS I TRY TO GET BACK TO THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE JUST ANYTHING DISCUSSION TO TALK ABOUT OR EVEN TELL ME TO WATCH YOUR VIDEOS AND MAYBE WE CAN START A CHAT:D THANK YOOH^^* Hopefully I can watch more of your social anxiety videos to get a bit more insight on them…

I think I have social anxiety disorder. I only have made about 5 friends since I started high school, but they are all really good ones. Anyways, is there any way to treat social anxiety disorder without going to a psychiatrist, or taking meds or anything?
don’t lie to yourself, and face the world.
that’s what I did.

I don’t know how, but I want to meet some lesbians who are my age in real life. This is very hard for me, because I have social anxiety disorder, which makes it hard for me to socialize with anyone. There aren’t any lesbigay youth groups in my city, and I’m currently home schooled… Any idea what I should do?
social anxiety disorder? SHY? Find a chat group and let yourself go and eventually you will hook up with some kids in your hood….relax and be yourself…they are nervous too.
just saw this….Try TransDyke, a Yahoo group. You must be 18 of course.
