I was walking through the lobby @ work about an hour ago and saw "Shyness: How Normal Behavior Became a Sickness" on the new non-fiction shelf. So as a Social Anxiety Disorder sufferer I picked it up and trotted back to my desk excited about my find. (not many books out there on Social Phobia/Social Anxiety Disorder it's kind of a strange one to write about and not as "popular" as depression or OCD I guess) So, I'm flipping through reading this book and it's basically telling me that it's all a sham, there's no such thing as Social Anxiety Disorder. It's something the drug companies made up and it's all in my head. Yeah, kiss my ass. Tell that to...
- My husband who after 8 years of marriage rarely hears me say his name in front of him
- My co-workers who have to leave the room when I make phone calls to patrons
- My parents who always wondered why I ran the water all. the. time. while in the bathroom
- My sister, who loved to hear my dad sing and didn't understand why it made me shake and turn red
- My mechanic who can't believe someone made it to age 28 without getting the oil changed in her car herself
- My inlaws who get soooo pissed when we go out to a buffet place and my husband has to get my food
- The girls @ my 14th b-day party who didn't understand why watching Grease embarrassed me so much
