do you have social anxiety?
how to deal with it?
Do you have social anxiety?
Yes
SSRIs
if she didn't have any tatttoos she'd be waifu material
ive started drinking a bit before work and now everyone likes me
live with the pain
Nigga you blind, look at her ugly ass jawline.
Yes
I drink and limit contact with others. I manage a team of fifteen people at work so fortunately I'm a good faker, but by the end of the day I'm totally done with it.
is that a good idea? seems too good to be true
This is the first step down a bad road.
I'm sure it works for now, though. I've always wished that like two beers was my natural personality.
well so far its working. id imagine its a only a problem if you get too drunk. in america, we do everything in moderation so i dont think anything bad will happen.
>Sorry, what?
nice one, i'll try it
Yes. I don't deal with it, I'm a NEET and almost total shut-in, I only go out for the occasional dire errand or a jog.
>in america, we do everything in moderation
One day I just stopped caring desu
The jogging doesn't help your anxiety? Everyone tells me I'll feel better psychologically if I exercise but I never do.
I'm socially awkward, but I worked on my social anxiety. You basically have to force yourself into interaction until you stop giving a fuck about what others may think of you and start being more comfortable to act the way you usually do. Though being honest, the fact that there was no internet after hurricane maria helped up in forcing me to interact a bit more with others.
I've always exercised, I also lift (to a limited degree, since I don't go to a gym) and it never helped me at all, with either anxiety or depression. It should be said that other people say they feel better when they exercise. It's probably very variable and you should certainly try to exercise as much as you can, I would probably feel worse if I didn't.
I would call it social annoyance. I have problems with aggression and paranoia. I take some benzos occasionally so I don’t end up beating people up.
I've recently made it a habit to mouth off to anyone who's rude to me in public instead of just walking away like a normal healthy person does. It might get my ass kicked eventually but it's raised my confidence to fire back at assholes, as stupid as it sounds.
Like half the Hungarian women are like that even if not escorts.
Yeah
Ressigned to live the rest of my days as a hermit. Tried to be like a normalfag many times but it always end up terribly. I'd rather stay shut forever
I don't interact with anybody unless I'm forced to but I'm trying to change
How are you trying to change? I sometimes feel I'd like to (I go back and forth on that) but I don't even know where to start.
actually me too, benzos works? i take sertraline but it doesn't work, do you have other way to deal with it?
Benzos definitely work but they're pretty seriously habit forming. Worth it if nothing else works but not recommended as a first option.
I stopped caring
Yes, I'm ugly and boring.
Everything is temporarily, it will not bite you in the ass later in life
i used to have social anxiety
for me, working and making money really helped. i have a customer service job so i deal with hundreds of people daily. i kinda just got used to dealing with people. i can speak in front of crowds of people easily.
i've been trying to get a job but i always ruin it, i can't keep a job more than four months, i'm desperate
What kind of work have you tried, and what's been going wrong for you?
>get shot
>but only with 9mm so it's fine
Yes but you have to watch the dose and how many times you take it. You can get addicted and when you go cold turkey it will give you panick attacks, tremors, nightmares, headache, etc. There’s a whole list of it.
avoid social interactions
do uber or one of those app based jobs
then once you're comfortable get a real job
call center, fast food, cleaning staff, i'm very agressive and i have paranoia
Try warehousing. This was my favorite lower level job by far. You're generally left to your own devices and antisocial autists seem to be good at inventory control.
if i do that, i'll not get a job and i'll die poor like everyone here
yes
never going outside
Yes I do
>how to deal
By being a NEET and living alone in a cabin surrounded by forest on one side and the ocean on the other.
accept it as part of your personality
you're awkward and weird it's no big deal nobody cares
I am painfully jealous of you.
thanks bros, i'll try it
i dont mean completely ,just do as much as you're comfortable with .obviously work and job interviews are unavoidable but ive known introverts that push themselves into too many social situations they're not comfortable with and shit sucks ..
yeah it sucks but i'm completely alone, without aspirations and probably no future, i have to do something
Yes, but when I get anxious I start rambling endlessly to fill any silence and my filter starts to slip which is when I end up saying something that pisses people off and makes them not like me. My grandfather is like this too and says it's cuz it's an Italian thing :/
>muh heritage
have you thought about something like joining the army ?. personally it cured a large part of my social autism and socially i had the best time of my life there.
and generally its a great place especially for aimless young men with no direction in terms of career. there's a lot less pressure and stress compared to working in civilian jobs.
I had it, but then I just started talking to people. It was fine.
Yes
I don't, I'm fucking useless
in my violent shithole being in the army it's a little dangerous and difficult but i could be an option
i guess you're right with all the corruption and crime in the army\police in your country its probably not comparable to my army experience.
I have anxiety and depression
Yes
