• I read a story about a women that never goes out with boys for fear and anxiety of being with them, she finally went out with a guy and had fun with him, but the guy never called her again, so now she thinks that the he was bored with her and she is very disappointed and feels frustrated.

Those are the kind of situation that happen to people with social anxiety which are very self conscious and feel that they failed in the social situation. However, she had success, she went out and had fun, is just that their beliefs of her are wrong, because she thinks very low of herself.

Dating is one of those social activities that is very challenging for any person with social phobia, some people dont get married because they cant be with the opposite sex without feeling nervous, anxious, shaking, sweating and more.
