Avoidant Personality Disorder is the worst disorder to have

Social Anxiety or Social Phobia is definetly the worst disorder to have.

Reason being that with any other personality disorder or mental disorder, a person basically still makes friends and has intimate relations very easily. Social anxiety disables that.

Humans are hard-wired to really enjoy social networking and forming intimate relationships.

Looking back at the dozens of missed opportunities in my life, I can only shake my head. It is frustrating going to websites like Facebook to see some of these people whom I should have been friends with or dated, but because of anxiety, I was viewed as being "weird". It hurts to be rejected, especially when my self-esteem used to hang on their every word and action.

Not being able to talk and become outgoing is the equivalent of cutting the wings off of an eagle, or breaking a cheetah's legs. It is deblitating at a very fundamental level.

There's no easy way around it.

You either go on facebook and try to be popular, avoid going on those sites all together, or focus on success and happiness in real life. Or maybe some combination of the above. It's up to you.
