Social Phobia Disorder and College


SocialPhobia Disorder and going to college can be a scary and daunting task.  You can imagine someone with social phobia disorder having a hard time:
  • Giving presentations
  • Working in groups
  • Raising their hand
  • Being called on at random
  • Walking into class late
  • Tests, projects, quizzes (added anxiety)
Although I graduate this Fall (2013), it has been one the hardest obstacles I have had to cross so far in my life.  However, my social phobia disorder has improved dramatically in the past 4 years.  The “Exposure” in college has really made me stronger and has forced me to break out of my shell.  

Social Phobia Disorder is a condition that cannot be left alone.  Putting yourself in uncomfortable social situations is better than sitting alone in your room, even if it does sound counter-intuitive.  The more social scenarios you participate in, the more comfortable you will become in future social situations.  This is one prime way to overcoming shyness and social phobia.  

This semester I have had to give 8 oral presentations in front of 20+ people each time.  Talk about unbearable!  I would sweat, shake, blush uncontrollably, and sway back and forth.  It is almost impossible to give presentations with social phobia disorder.  Eventually they started to get easier and easier but it was never a walk in the park.  I realized that the important thing was that I was completing these presentations despite my severe social phobia disorder.  

To sum it all up college has given me confidence, sharpened my mind, and given me many opportunities.  Although, it was extremely uncomfortable and gut wrenching at times, it has ultimately made me better and my growth is undeniable.  Social phobia disorder is something that will make your college journey a living Hell, but it is those whose persevere who are stronger in the end.
