Going out in public causes me to feel extremely anxious. When

Same here bruh. I don't know what to do about it though, xcept I'll probably kms someday. Sorry for no help

>Sorry for no help
I don't think anyone can help me.

I have thought pretty hard about it and I think most of my points are true. Any time I have been given a reason to not feel self pity it is usually because of something not in my control like how my parents are able to help me out a lot with school and that I am smart, which makes me feel worse because now I know others do better than me with even less.

How old are you? I was similar but things got progressively better between 19 and 23.

>All the advice anyone has ever give me is to keep doing things that make me anxious until I enjoy them, which hadn't worked.
They give you that advice because nothing else works. The only cure for fear is to face it.

But that doesn't mean you have to flood yourself with it. No one ever cured arachnophobia by sticking his hand in a bucket of spiders. Pace yourself: lower doses to begin with, smaller steps up as time passes.

That's not a free pass. Hold yourself accountable for knowing what the next step will be, knowing when you are ready to take it, and actually taking it. Don't let anyone tell you that your current dose is too low, or that your steps are too small, or that your pace is too slow, as long as you are continuing to move forward and hold yourself accountable for it. They literally do not know what they're talking about. They cannot: they are not in your head.

I'm sad to hear that you're hurting. And I regret that I have nothing to tell you that you probably haven't already heard dozens of times. But this IS the way out, even if you've suffered some false starts, missteps, or even setbacks. Even when you've been knocked down seven times, there's nothing to do but get up eight times.

What the best advice? Just relax man, chillout. Ehh .. Fuck it

Samesies. Though while I can go out most of the time, any situation where there is food that people expect me to eat (restaurant, movies, etc.) I get EXTREMELY nauseous and usually end up just excusing myself to dry heave in the bathroom. As you can imagine I'm essentially housebound and I fucking hate that I can't get it under control because I want to be able to spend time with family and friends. Its been this way for damn near 20 years, I'm beyond over it.
