Social Anxiety Disorder

Social Anxiety Disorder (social phobia) is the third largest mental health care problem in the world.

Definition:
Social anxiety is the fear of social situations that involve interaction with other people. Put another way, social anxiety is the fear and anxiety of being judged and evaluated by other people. If a person usually becomes anxious in social situations, but seems fine when they are alone, then "social anxiety" may be the problem.

Perceptions:
People with social anxiety are many times seen by others as being shy, quiet, backward, withdrawn, inhibited, unfriendly, nervous, aloof, and disinterested. People with social anxiety want to be "normal" socially, they want to make friends and they want to be involved and engaged in social interactions. Having social anxiety prevents people from being able to do the things they want, however.

Triggering Symptoms:
People with social anxiety usually experience significant distress in the following situations:

Being introduced to other people
Being teased or criticized
Being the center of attention
Social situations where the person exhibits excessive self-consciousness
Being watched or observed while doing something
Having to say something in a formal, public situation
Meeting people in authority ("important people/authority figures")
Feeling insecure and out of place in social situations ("I don’t know what to say.")
Embarrassing easily (e.g., blushing)
Meeting other peoples’ eyes
Swallowing, writing, talking, making phone calls if in public

This list is not a complete list of symptoms -- other symptoms may be associated with social anxiety as well.

I think I'm having the Social Anxiety Disorder. What do you think?

Dream : Don't Steal My Love Away !!! Damn you !!!

Had a bad dream this morning.

Dunno why I’ve become very violence in my dream.
Maybe it’s the way to release my pressure?
I have pressure meh?

In the dream, again I keep punching and kicking 2 guys,
They are trying to steal my love away.
I can’t do anything except to fight them away.
Although I can beat them up,
But I still can’t prevent them from stealing my love away.
Even with their bones is broken, face cover in blood,
But in a blink of a second,
They are back to normal,
Keep smiling evilly to me.
I feel powerless again,
Wanted to stop them but just unable to.
No matter how many time I fight them away…

Haihz

I'm gonna omit the detail of the dream on this one.

Dream : Disney “Cat” Land

Hmm… Forget the beginning part of my dream…

I just remember that we want to go to Putrajaya,
Because there’s a new Disney “Cat” Land theme park there.
I think there are about 7 people of us,
Separate into 2 teams.
Batman, Champ, 鑫傑, 阿頭, 斌仔, Monkey and me.

So first we reach the Puduraya bus station,
It’s at night, maybe it’s the Future Puduraya,
Seem like it.
We want to take the LRT to Putrajaya,
That time there’s LRT from Puduraya to Putrajaya ^^
So I went to check the ticket price.
Ah….. RM5.75 one way.
Dunno why we found it’s very expensive.
And decide not to buy the ticket.
We think then how wor….

And suddenly I come up with an idea.
Why don’t we go to find Turtle first?
Then ask Turtle to fetch us there?
Seem like the normal bus ticket to Turtle’s place is cheap,
Just RM0.70 only ^^

So I call Turtle.

I ask Turtle is that ok if we go to his place,
Then ask him join us to go to the Theme Park.
Turtle says Champ just called him before me,
From the conversation,
He said Champ told him that Champ has something interesting to offer him,
And ask Turtle come pick them up at Puduraya here -_-”
Then straight away I tell Turtle not to be cheated by Champ,
And ask him to reject Champ and wait for us there. ^^

Times past, scene changed.

Seem like we reach the Theme Land entrance,
Well, at least at first I think we are there.
Not many people here. Quiet.
This place is kidda cool,
It’s a big plain covered with ICE,
Not snow.
It’s very cold here, way below freezing point.
Because it’s covered with Ice,
Surrounding color becomes all crystal blue.
The floor is very slippery.
So we have to walk very carefully.

In the middle of this crystal ice plain,
Is a Waterfall type of hot spring.
So here is the only place that water is flowing,
The rest of the place becomes ice because of the cold.
So when we want to wash our hands there,
We found out there’s someone making a washing basin
First he uses a mold, just simple rectangular shape,
Then he uses another smaller mold put inside the first mold,
Then he pours in the hot spring water,
In a blink of an eye, the water turned into ice.
So the ice-washing basin is created.
Ho ho ho…
And then he installs it and let us wash our hand.

We continue walking,

And there’s a big building in front of us,
So we walk inside the building,
Ah…It’s a big hall,
It looks like an immigration gate,
Lot of counters chopping other’s passport.
Eh? Need passport de meh?
Luckily I bring my passport around ^^
There are many children running around with a few adult.
And we can see from here
That the Disney “Cat” Land is just behind the Immigration counters.
So we are all very excited that finally we are here ^^

And …
My alarm woke me up :P

Dream : Feeling Lost

Feel so great… I am back to University again.

Its winter time, temperature is cold out there.
I think it’s just around 4pm something,
But the sky already getting dark.
It’s snowing… peacefully.
Don’t know why,
Whenever it’s snowing, surrounding is very quiet and peaceful.

Ya… I love this the most.

I think I am on the way to the library, with Nancy.
She is next to me ^^
We keep walking in between buildings,
A small walk path in the middle,
Surroundings are grasses covered with thin layer of snow…
Wind is blowing softly, but become a bit chilly.

We don’t talk much on the way to the library,
But our feels are good, I believe.

Finally, reach the Library.
She walks in; I want to go in too…
But I was rejected.
I was told by her that I don’t have a Student ID -_-“
Then she just cruelly smiles and waves at me,
And disappeared in front of my eyes.

Suddenly, I feel lost.
