try weed, but that's not necessary the solution, it's only going to relax you physically; your inner demons are going to be waiting for you all the time, you must face them willingly...

...for that I recommend to know yourself (meditate, read philosophy and shit), also open your inner thoughts to other people, a best friend, a girlfriend, or even an anonymous person via internet, whatever you feel comfortable with, and move on from that point

I used to be socially anxious af in school it used to be crippling.

Then came university, where I started partying hard. First time I did MDMA was probably what did it for me - I learnt how to properly gauge other people's emotions and soon enough I became a social wizard.
In truth an array of drugs can cure social anxiety in a variety of scenarios - I recommend amphetamines (except meth...) or benzodiazepines like Valium. Dont listen to anyone who suggests cocaine - while I love coke, it will just give you a mountain of fake confidence for a veryyyyy short time, and when it fades you will feel even more socially anxious. On the other hand, amphetamine will just put you in a peppy, good mood - nothing drastic but very useful and fun.

not op but this is actually really helpful, i've been smoking weed for 4 years now but i thought that would eventually kill the inner deamons, now i realice i just ignored them and that made the social weirdness even worse, the thing is i havent actually realice untill just recently, now im a lone virgin with a shit ton of regrets

To be honest I used to have social anxiety pretty bad growing up, Then one tell I just told myself i'm not going to live the rest of my life like a bitch. I just started forcing myself to talk to people then eventually I got used to it. Eventually made a ton of friends and enjoy talking to people now. plus it helped when I went to college. Whole different game.

>>726656207
there is always hope anon, don't enclosure yourself in the past, just focus on your future and try to be positive

Go to a therapist or a psychiatrist

>>726657172
Or not, has done shit for me, actually probably made things worse because I now think about how terrible it is.

I was homeschooled.
I didn't have aspirations. So i joined the air force.
During the dormitory faze i began drinking and the pain of socializing was numbed so i could actually talk to people even flirt. If i derped i could blame it on too much drink.
Now i have a 5 year GF we live together with a dog.

Now my biggest prob is putting down the drink.... I can drink a gallon of 45% alcohol everyday.... Im getting better... I used to drink everclear... Not fun.

>>726653723
It's pretty simple dude, step out of your comfort zone, the only way as awkward and weird you'd feel it won't be that bad, just try socializing as much as possible you'll realize nobody's trying to eat you you'll cure it yourself bro, I had severe retarded social anxiety too and I fixed myself.

i used to think how good it was being a child and i always wondered if living like that would be possible without a care, you have to start with knowing that the bad self image you created of yourself due to that worthless ego is not real and think about it when you were a kid you really didn't give a shit about what people think about you, let's be honest dude everybody's just worrying about how other people view them so nobody cares to even notice that you have social anxiety just go out there and live your life man truth is nobody cares lol

Kill yourself, let's face it you're too weak to even talk to people, maggots with social anxiety are the lowest tier of people and are made to be ate alive by the real predators.

Amphetamines are your new best friend OP - embrace them and take control of life.

>>726653723
watch lots of standup, and work out. and don't jerk off as much. and stop caring.

dude i got severe social anxiety and i'll break your neck faggot

>>726653723
I sucked cock and let three guys gang fuck my ass. I wasn't gay or even interested in it at the time, but I knew that if I dressed as a sissy and let three random dudes use me as a fuck toy for a night I wouldn't care so much about talking to others outside my comfort zone. It worked for me anon and you can do it too.

Smoked a lot of meth (for the first time), then went to the mall and freaked out for an hour or two. Then smoked some strong sativa marijuana which makes me paranoid anyways. Then I went to a ruby tuesdays with some friends I ran into at the mall and hoped my friends didn't think I was high and ate food then went to this coffee shop who I'd met some classmates there, then I drove home and had a conversation with my parents while starting the come-down about life n shit.

Now I think "Nothing you do will be as awkward as what you did, nor will anything that can happen be as bad as what could've happened that you can't remember. And I just chill now and realize there's no need to worry until there is a need to worry.

I used to have terrible anxiety, working a job in retail helped me socially, having to interact with so many different people got me used to it. Got into the party scene and branched out and getting up to some shit there which was good and bad. I still struggled pretty badly with the thought of anything else though (getting a new job or moving to a new place etc...) it took me years but I thought "fuck it" and joined the navy, now I can cope with being told to do just about anything, anywhere. Should have made that jump a lot sooner than I did.

Get yourself diagnosed as having add, then get a script for Dex amphetamines (think it's adderall or something in the states). Don't use more than your doc recommends but it really acts as a confidence booster.

>>726653723
Weeeeeeeeed. Smoke weed man, it helps loads. Download Leafly, then look up different strains of weed to help curb anxiety and depression. The more you smoke, the better you feel

Just remember everyone else is just as anxious as you are.
Or scared.
Or wait. Maybe that's spiders?
I guess it's just you.
Try to picture them naked.
The spiders, I mean.

Gonna do my best, i was a fucking cool guy when i was 20,i fuck a ton of girls and got a ton of friends too, i used to had a very wild life, then i met some people who broke me and got anxiety later on
it was like a 2 or 3 years, i recognize that i have that problem and started to force me to get out with my friends, someday i talk to a girl who i met a long time ago, she had an anxiety problem too, that helped a lot, i saw myself reflected on her , this was like a kickstart for a change, you can try that

Not sure if these apply to social anxiety but
>can't look anyone in the eye for more than a second
>have constant delusions/assumptions of what others think
>the thought of being in public/crowded places creates fear
>constantly wary of what 2nd & 3rd parties will do to me
>constantly wary of my physical effects on the environment around me, if it's loud enough for someone to hear, I need to lower it
>in essence turn myself into a doormat

Slowly trying to curve the slope upwards, OP, to my advantage. Not my misadvantage.

This is basically the way of solving social anxiety in more drastic measures, lmao.

It's pretty simple, actually. Put yourself in rare situations that are tougher to deal (or overall impactful) with than common situations.

It's the same reason why running 7 miles makes doing homework or talking to girls way easier; you've dealt with tougher shit before.

>>726662316
Man I used to be a fucking mess, I know the feeling. Start small, go for a walk at the same time every day, start eating right and look for work or classes that even remotely interest you. Before you know it you'll end up 40 and hating that you didn't even try.

can i just pay models to pretend im interesting?

Google exposure therapy. You could make your own plan from that info, and tweak it as you find what works for you. Consider it homework that you do for a minute everyday.

My anxiety, out of 10, went down from 4 to about 2. I say hello to strangers sometimes, like if they are tourists looking around. I ask checkout people how their day is going, or ask then about their tattoo. A suggestion from my therapist was to ask strangers in public a neutral question like what is the time, where is a good place for lunch here, etc; their answer doesn't matter, just watch their face and reply thank you.

Be kind to yourself too. Health is a life time job, and you're worth it. Good luck friend.

>>726663554
No, modern women won't do things they don't like for money, they are too strong and independent for that kind of thing.

phenibut

You're probably overthinking it. You could be super self conscious, probably suffer self esteem issues like myself. You may tend to think everyone out there is going to judge you which prevents you from going out and mingling.

Truth is, nobody cares about most people. People are so caught up in their own lives they don't have time to think about you or me. So when you go out there, don't be afraid of peoples judgements.

And no, you won't fuck up everywhere or do something silly where people will laugh at you, if that's what you're thinking.

Just get out there. It's one of my favorite things to do. Get out of the house and talk to people. In most cases they'll reciprocate. Not all the time, but most times.

Godspeed you magnificent son of a bitch.

I'm 26 an I also suffer greatly from social anxiety disorder. It's gotten to where I pretty much don't leave my apartment and only go grocery shopping at night. I'm pretty sure I'm going to kill myself by summer's end, so I guess there's not terribly much more suffering in my future.

Realize other people don't give a shit about you or what you're doing unless it involves them. Then realize you also don't give a shit about anybody unless it involves you. Then realize that neither you nor anyone else want to be involved in anyone's shit unless you get something useful out of it. Then live happily with a beautiful wife and maybe a kid in a wonderful home surrounded by white neighbors. If unsuccessful proceed to kill self as life is without meaning and there is no reason you should suffer for the benefit of the fortunate few. Fuck them (or you).
