Social Anxiety and Zoophilia

[Cynolove693]

I'd imagine being zoophile doesn't cause social anxiety other factors are involved normally; Anxiety disorders are usually caused from trauma at one point or another in your life (but it can be a symptom of another underlying disorder such as autism so that's not always true), wether it be emotional or physical..




I do believe however that being a zoophile that suffers from anxiety but has an animal around would be a help to treating it or at least give a sense of security to lesson the symptoms.. so it does in a way influence anxiety to improvement, it is seen as a opinion of many psychologists that animals can be therapeutical..




I'll explain at least for me Ive found with a dog around when I'm around other people I don't feel as anxious or on the edge of panicking, I open up alot more than usual, I begin to feel at ease, unfrozen as if I can actually speak, I don't feel the constant fear that I'll say something wrong (yes some people have anxiety that affects them to that extreme of an extent) there is something about the presence of a dog that is reassuring, calming, almost therapeutic without the need for any words being said, the presence of a dog can be healing to a point; (more so when I'm around a dog I already have a connection with)




Even with the impulse to hate others in my mind that stems from the intense fear of people that takes over on a constant basis, having a dog around reminds me that the most important thing in life to do is love not hate; don't get me wrong though it is still very hard to function as a "normal" person of society with disorders that affect your ability to function socially, I can't bring a dog with me anywhere I go, even if I'd like to...




Now the flip of the coin; I believe that being zoophile is going to make social anxiety even worse in some ways as the main fear of social anxiety is what people think of you, even if they don't know of your zoophilic lifestyle, you'll still feel as I they are judging you, would abandon you if they did find out, or will find out somehow, even if it may be irrational to think that way, people that are zoophile with anxiety would feel that way, I do anyways; sad thing is it's true, most people would abandon someone because of a lifestyle such as zoophilia without a second thought..
