Question:
I am beginning to realize that my problem is not social anxiety/social phobia. My problem is that I am too intense and have conditioned myself to be too excited. Social anxiety helped me become too intense but I am not really socially anxious anymore or know how to avoid situations that provoke social anxiety. I’m wondering if there is any good papers on this.

I’m kind of going to change the subject a little. There’s that theory that I buy into that the kind of pregnancy our mums have has a large deal to do with how we perceive the world. So if our mom was very anxious when she was pregnant with us we believe on some level that is the normal state to be in in life and we will seek to recreate angst-ridden experiences in our lives later on. Because that’s normal, right? But I don’t have any solutions. Sorry. Best I can advise is if you see any pregnant women to tell them to relax. I was very relaxed with puppy and she’s a happy and social child. I am pleased I didn’t have her when I was still so at loggerheads with the world. Now there are a few less bad examples I can set for her. – Michaela — As a man was advancing in his years, and fell ill, he called one of his advisors close to him and said: "My son, hear me. When I was younger, I tried to change the world, and I failed. And as I my youth passed on, I came to focus on my country instead. And again, I could not affect change. As I fell very old, I tried only to make change within my own family, but by then, it was too late. And now I lie here ill, and I realize the truth. Had I just changed myself, my family would’ve changed with me. And together we’d have changed the country, and our country would’ve changed the world."

Hey, that’s really cool… it sounds like you’re on to something. I don’t know anything about it, but I wish you luck. — -=Lola —————- You’re living in your own private Idaho Living in your own private Idaho Underground like a wild potato. –B52s.

phobia. My problem is that I am too intense and have conditioned myself to be too excited. Social anxiety helped me become too intense but I am not really socially anxious anymore or know how to avoid situations that provoke social anxiety. I’m wondering if there is any good papers >on this.
You might want to check out the websites on Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome because many Vietnam war veterans who were emotionally damaged in the intensity of battle now have all of those same symptoms which you described. I believe the medical community currently recommends Paxil as the drug of choice for it.
