I cannot express my thoughts in public, my voice shakes, my mind

You sound exactly like me, but I'm not sure if I dislike being a loner...

you tried alcohol or drugs? are you living on campus?

What do you have to lose? Just take the pills. I would've killed for that.

No, no and no. I commute from home.

I like being a loner, too, but there are ties when I want to talk to somebody. And school life is hard if you have noone to ask help with notes and stuff. And even if I don't have any friends, I'd still like to be able to join conversations in class.

For what, pills? Why can't you get pills?

You could just go to your nearest club/lounge in your city. Get a nice buzz before going in and bring some shot bottles with you for more boost along the night if you don't wanna pay jacked up prices for more drinks. Alcolhol absolutely boost your confidence to talk to girls. Just casually walk up to a girl and start dancing with them. Even if you can't dance girls as long as you look like you're enjoying himself girls can see that you are confident.

Or if that's too terrifying for you could start making some gains at the gym in your college or in your area. I found that working out was a great stress reliever and confidence builder. Slowly work your way to just making small with girls by asking the easy questions. Their name, What major? Boyfriend? And just go from there.

I don't really think about getting a girlfriend right now. I just want to be confident and not feel less than other people. I don't wanna be scared to speak my mind. I tried gym before and it didn't go too well. I felt like everyone was watching me, and couldn't go and ask people how to use stuff etc. I'm dieting on and off. I stick to it for a month, then get depressed and start confort eating for a month, and it's a cycle. I don't have any motivation to do anything, really. I always make plans but never stick to them in the long run.

My situation is very similar; 5th year of a 4 year degree, haven't made a single friend, anxious in public...

I don't have the answers, but you really ought to lift. And nofap should help some with motivation. Porn is my main vice, but it sounds like food is yours. Make an effort to eat immaculately clean (veggies, non-processed food, no fast/junk food) for a week or more and see how you feel. I know there's a world of difference in how I feel after successfully abstaining from porn for a few days vs how I feel when I fall off the wagon.

I'm reading Lost in the Cosmos and The Moviegoer right now, both by Walker Percy and I recommend them if you want a relevant book to read.

Good luck, anon. Don't kill yourself. Fight

I watch too much porn, too. I j/o once a day on working days and two times a day on weekends. Porn and food are my only pleasures in life right now. Dieting and j/off less frequently helps with my mood but after a month I fall back on my old habits. School is very stressful so I need some kind of relief, I guess and since I can't enjoy any of my hobies I used to enjoy, I turn to porn and food. I'm not too fat right now but if I keep going like this I might end up too over-weight by the time I'm 30-35.

Thanks, anon. I'll check the books out.
