Anyone else have their mother make appointments? I even habe her talk to doctors and stuff. Im 18 now and its starting to seem sad.

I think it's so crazy that the solution is to see a therapist. How the fuck could I see a therapist about my issues when that's part of my issue.
I used to bike around at night just like this. I'm actually reasonably athletic though, so no injuries
or even worse youre the one crossing the street and all the people in their cars get to stare at you
well it was a combination of tequila and trying out stupid shit. messing around on bikes and skateboards late at night is comfy af though
>tfw my wisdom tooth is halfway out because I haven't made an appointment.
wear helmets pls
You don't neccessarily need to pull them out.
Only if they interfere with the other teeth.
Some people can grow them out just fine.
it's kinda like stopping heroin when it's fucking up your life. It's the solution but people don't do it anyways cause they're brain is fucking hijacked and their reward system isn't serving them. You'll just have to wait till you break and finally do the work to at least see one person, a therapist that specializes in social anxiety, and get fucking better so you aren't just the worst version of yourself. Why don't you work to be the best version of yourself user? Your logic has also probably been hijacked by depression or anxiety, things have a way of making sense and seeming logical even if they aren't. Seriously make at least one goal for yourself and make it be go see a therapist.
My xray from over 5+ years ago showed a couple growing sideways so I will have to set up an appointment eventually
Facebook was the worst thing to happen to social anxiety.
Instead of just being awkward, now we can hide behind our screens and fake confidence
But we still have terrible social skills so we commit grave errors and embarrass ourselves in ways we never could have before
