Fact was, if this girl had SA, my name is Brad Pitt and I'm married to Angelina Jolie.



It was just a bold face lie. Maybe she did have some kind of issues, but it sure wasn't social anxiety.



Same goes for drug addiction and alcohol addiction and whatever else.



Too many people blame stuff on something when the fact is it has nothing to do with that at all.



SA is what it is. Some people have it worse then others. But the fact is most people have avg SA just like anything else.



And while it's tough and it sucks, most people will blame it on SA or whatever instead of on themselves.



"Hey I quit high school because of SA.."



There are plenty of people for which this is real. But there are also plenty of people for which this is a lame excuse.



So telling somebody else about SA or whatever won't get that big of a reaction if you aren't blaming your entire miserable life on SA.



But if you blame everything on SA and never do anything and tell somebody it's because of SA, it's not going to be a good reaction because it in all honesty will sound like another excuse.
