Yeah but even severe social anxiety issues usually don't go that far. I mean I work with people who have anxiety disorders so I kinda know what it's like.

So... severe anxiety issues expire after what, seven years? Or could it be that different people might react in different ways?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I do get your point, I swear.
To be honest it just sounds too far-fetched, you know, like somebody trying to say "don't use death threats on the internet, kid, it can lead to real anxiety" so I was like "yeah, right" at first. But since I'm the one thinking that, I'll admit I may have been wrong.

[(Anonymous)]

Just because the OP thinks that their disorder was caused by the death threats doesn't mean it actually was.

[(Anonymous)]

They didn't say the death threats caused it. I think they said it made it worse. (That is the impression I got.)

[(Anonymous)]

Well, they said "it is a daily struggle all because a BNF threatened me" or whatever. But the previous paragraph implies that they knew they already had the disorder. So I dunno!

Think of it this way:

You're already nervous exiting your house and walking down the street.

A person you don't know and have never met before threatens your life. You don't know who that person is or what they look like. What if they're one of the people walking past you on the street? Forget the notion that the person making threats doesn't know what YOU look like; you don't know what they do and don't know about you.

For all you know anybody you pass might pull out a gun and shoot you in the face or take out a knife stab you as they pass. They'll get arrested, but it won't stop them from committing the act and doing the damage.

That doesn't mean anyone on the street is going to do that, but that is what social anxiety can do to your head.

Re: SA

That's what I'm saying. It's something SAD did to their head, not them being "pathetic" -- since it's SAD, that's not even the real reason they're afraid of going out, it's what their SAD is telling them is the justification for being terrified to leave their house.

Death threats are really shitty and that creep has problems as well, but most people wouldn't be housebound because of a threat they got on the internet 8 years ago without an anxiety condition.

We don't know the nature of the threats. People live in fear for various reasons. I'm not sure OP was saying the death threats directly caused the social anxiety. It is possible OP already had social anxiety and this incident just made it way, way worse. Calling his/her post far-fetched and questioning the validity of the reaction isn't helpful, though.

I mean I work with people who have anxiety disorders

I'm not an expert but I don't think that's a one-size-fits-all kinda thing...?
