Anyone have any good tips for mitigating social anxiety or a feeling of being overwhelmed in busy places?
I've tried propranolol, cannabis, therapy, CBT; the only thing I've found that works is alcohol and class A drugs.
Can't keep living this way my liver is rotting I'm only 20
Have you tried stop being a fucking shy pussy? Why do you even care what people think about you? What kind of robot actually cares what a herd of normies who cant even form an original thought think about them? They are just meat. Hunks of meat that you are letting scare you. They mean nothing.
>bro dude like just stop caring
wrong one origami
>omg does she think Im cute omg omg what am i doing with ym hands omg Im so shy god people please love me please love me Im so desperate for normie attention PLEAAASSSEE
If it was as easy as this then so many people wouldn't have a problem with it, now would they?
We know they mean nothing, yet our brains mistakenly identify them as a threat and that is what causes this issue. The subconcious mind is a very powerful thing, much more powerful than the concious mind. The thing about this is that social anxiety really is treatable, and the way of doing so kind of looks like what you're saying. However, as we are creatures of habit, these new thoughts and ideals need to be given time to settle in, so to speak. Overcoming social anxiety is something that you really need to be patient and that, in my opinion, is what makes it hard.
I try not to let it bother me but I can feel myself getting more and more on edge, I end up walking really fast too for some reason.
I must look pretty weird half running around town and trying not to look at people probably doesn't help the situation
find someone that you think is hideous and just laugh at them in your head
My anxiety has definitely made me a meaner person, I get really angry at people just for looking at me for too long or like standing to close to me
Yeah I'm worried that if I keep having to get fucked up just to go into town I'm gonna die long before I can get over this.
Thought it was gonna go once I got out of my early teens but numerous failed relationships with roasties brought it back with a vengeance.
Idiots. JUST STOP BEING A PUSSIY. Fucking put metal songs on and just fucking hold your head up and shoulders back and walk STRAIGHT FUCKING THROUGH anyone and everyone dont fucking even LOOK at those pathetic fucking cows. What the fuck does their opinion matter. FUCKING DOMINATE HTOSE USELESS SUBHUMANS. THEY WILL NEVER GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT. FUCKING WALK THORUGH THEM.

I know that feel mate. I'm 21 now and I still suffer daily, I do have to admit that I'm doing better than I was a couple of years ago. I started seeing a shrink about a month ago and thank God I didn't get one of the "benzodiazepines will solve all your problems kek" shills but someone who actually genuinely tries to talk to me and tries to give me tips to cope. I'd suggest you do the same. I know it's a big step to take and psychology might not seem credible, but they really can help you. You just gotta find someone who gives you a feeling of trust and who, despite your mind probably telling you that they cannot be trusted, can wade through all those defense mechanisms and help you find the you you want to be.
Lmao you fucken LARPER
We can't handle conversations, simply walking through the crowd probably is the least worse thing we face on a daily basis, it's when people stop to talk with us for a moment that we really start to get fucked up. And there's no 101 conversations for dummies type of bullshit you can use to help yourself in that moment.
Get checked for low serotonin
This is retarded, I spent five years in the US Army as an 88m and developed nerves of steel as a result of my job. I have done car sales, been married, have children, anxiety still creeps into my life when I do not smoke chops
It is not as simple as stepping outside of your comfort zone although that can be beneficial, I definitely recommend loading a bowl up with 90% tobacco 10% weed and smoking it at least six times a day for anxiety
Phenibut, if you enjoy the feeling of god mode and not giving a fuck.
Tramadol, if you wanna feel super positive and don't dread acute withdrawal when you want to quit.
MD on ALD-52 / 1P-LSD or whatever lysergamide is legal where you live, if you wanna your days to be brighter and disregard everything around you.
Nootropics (e.g. -racetams), if you wanna spend a lot of dough and get some nice placebo treatment.
In my opinion, you should try phenibut @ 2.0-3.0 g dosages (start lower). No more than 2-3 times a week, and take a week off every now and then. It's legal, cheap, has no side effects, and works fucking wanders.
I did overdose on Prozac about a year ago, ended up hospitalised with nasty serotonin syndrome. Could this have caused that? Got a free stay in a cosy place too pic related
Talk to a psychiatrist (not a therapist or psychologist, they can't prescribe medication) about your panic disorder symptoms and try to get a script for low dose klonopin to be taken when needed
DON'T admit to having any abnormal drinking habits
Hahaha I feel like this is a great plan while baked, but I get proper parra afterwards until I've slept a bit. I don't fancy painting all my windows with black paint again
YOU ONLY FEAR THE DISCOMFORT OF FEAR. PEOPLE DONT FUCKING MATTER YOU NIGGERS. PEOPLE DO NOT MATTER. WEED IS JUST A COPE. BENZOS ARE A COPE. DONT FUCKING COPE. FUCKING OWN THIS SHIT, OWN THESE PEOPLE, STOP LETTING PEOPLE CONTROL YOU YOU HAVE FREE WILL DUMBASSES
it might help you to take your obsessive thoughts, like everybody's looking at me etc, and just mentally shout them at yourself in a tard voice over and over, eventually they may start to become ridiculous it seemed to help me desu
Try kratom. It really opens me up.
That is the only way I smoke weed, can make a quarter ounce last a month. Only issue is the nicotine can make me throw up or extremely sick and lose days at a time sleeping
Might go pick up right now shieeet
Nah you need to smoke chops, I am not saying smoke weed I am saying chop specifically, to beat anxiety. Once you take like two three weeks off work and smoke chops all day (dont eat and just drink water) you wont have anxiety or depression
Watch Boondocks while you do this and you will be extroverted
Opens you up to more drug related mental illness - I'm good senpai but you do you
Interesting technique Desu
YOU RUN AWAY FROM FEAR LIKE ITS A BAD THING, FEAR IS JUST LIFE. LIFE IS HELL. YOU RUN AWAY FROM LIFE UNTIL ONE DAY YOU WILL HAVE TO GO AHEAD AND DIE, AND YOU WONT HAVE YOUR WEED TO SAVE YOU, AND YOULL BE SCARED BUT YOU WONT BE ABLE TO RUN FROM IT, AND YOULL REMEMBER ME, AND YOULL REALIZE YOU COULD HAVE DIED AND BEEN REBORN ALREADY IF YOU HAD JUST REALIZE FEAR WAS NOTHING TO RUN FROM YOU COULD HAVE LIVED A WHOLE DIFFERENT LIFE FREE FROM THE CHAINS YOU LET PEOPLE PLACE ON YOU
Nah you are not comprehending, smoking chops makes you embrace life and helps you to better explore the inside and outside. You are getting to know yourself and the world around you when you take a chop
Where do you live? I will smoke a chop with you just do not eat before you come over
Feeling overwhelmed in a busy place is natural. Busy places like we see today are unnatural and those who are comfortable there are unnatural drones bred for work.
I got addicted to chopping, the nicotine would always make me have to take a shit so eventually it became a ritual I would take a hard chop on the toilet.
Had some Chinese take out one day, went to take a shit, took a chop with too much tobacco in it. Threw up all over the floor and my clothing and just had to sit there with an ass full of shit waiting for my stomach to settle
Chops can be dangerous
YOU WONT HAVE CHOPS WHEN YOU ARE DYING user DONT FORGET THAT. NOTHING WILL HELP YOU THEN. YOULL REGRET RUNNING AWAY FROM YOUR FEAR THEN.
Nigga chops change the structure of your mind. I used to chop in college with two frat boys, one mixed race one white I am black. We watched all of Entourage on HBO Go from start to finish and the movie and I do not remember the name of one character or one plot line besides the Titanic movie because I chopped so hard
Come chop with me? You in Atlanta? I will put on some Boondocks and tell me if you experience depression after
Please keep this AUTISM off my thread FFS
>I am black
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THESE WORDS OF WISDOM WERE FALLING ON THE DEAF EARS OF A NIGGER
Hate in your heart you have to chill with me, if you took one chop you would not experience a moments pain or misery again
THERES A NIGGER IN HERE SHITTING IT UP NOT ME
Some strange responses in this thread. I've dealt with anxiety for my whole life and the only things that have actually helped are CBT therapy twice a month, klonopin, breathing exercises, exposure and learning not to obsess about things.
How do I smoke a chop?
have you tried learning how to talk to people sober before trying to use drugs to solve every fucking problem you have?
