What activities can someone with social anxiety do?

I tried hiking on along Skyline Drive, but some old guy on the trail tried to talk to me so I ran up on the side of the mountain and then he stared at me for a long time. It was very uncomfortable.

I'd see a therapist first and do some CBT. Meds should be a last resort thing. They do help and do make your peepee limp along with other possible side effects and the trial and error of finding a drug that works for you. But they help tremendously when you do find one

Going /out/ hasn't outright made me less socially anxious, but it certainly has given me more confidence in myself.

I solo climbed Mt. Rainier two years ago, which isn't a major /out/ accomplishment, but when I came back home I just felt like a better man. This feeling of accomplishment goes a long way.

Good god. Now I'm not exactly mr social butterfly either, but running up the mountain to avoid some friendly old guy? I promise you that situation wouldn't have been half as uncomfortable if you didn't go full autismo.

Anywho... I've found that basically doing what >>1048170 said will work. The busier the trail the less likely someone will actually try to talk to you, and a simple "how's it going" as you walk by will pretty much be the most you'll have to socialize. Or you could always walk with earbuds in and pretend you didn't hear/notice the other person talking to you.

Wrong.

Just say hi to everyone you meet. That's Step 1. Once you feel comfortable with that, start saying some throwaway lines like, "Howdy stranger! Great weather today," and keep walking. You'll cure your anxiety in no time.
>>
The trick is to drill it into your head to become more apathetic about what people think about you and to just charge through the awkward moments and feelings.
It's become so much easier for me to greet people or even start small talk about dumb shit like the weather, and then it helps you open up about other stuff.
I do a lot of cycling and it's awkward on trails when passing people. But now I make it a point to smile and say hi, and I don't care who they are. Most of them don't say anything back to me, and that feels sort of satisfying like I took charge of my social anxiety. They rudely ignored me when I greeted them, so it's not on me.

Go to the mall and sit in the food court with no food and no phone for 3 hours, then stare at every single person you can until they look away. You wont have social anxiety anymore.

Then get a job.

Then come back to 4chan and start a gear thread.

Time for a red pill. Sorry if this comes across harsh.

You don't understand how emotions work. You shouldn't try to manage your anxiety by changing things in the outside world; that only makes it worse in the long run- like a painful leg that becomes atrophied because you never stand on it because it hurts. Fix the source of the emotional pain rather than avoiding it.

Confront your fears to overcome them.

Try to find some way to get a deep mindset shift. Therapy and shrooms work a treat, though not together.

Try self help books too and I think I'm going to be saying this a lot more but, goodlookingloser.com approach anxiety program. You don't have to use it for it's morally questionable intentions, it's just exposure therapy that works.

I used to have some pretty gnarly social anxiety. slowly I realized that no one gives a shit. it's called sonder. everyone's lives are just as complex as yours and most people don't have time to stand around judging you. and the ones that do, fuck em.

their thoughts don't need to affect you at all. in fact if they are making fun of you or whatever, that means they're jealous in some way. or their lives are so boring that they feel the need to do crap like that. the point is, you are a complete person no matter what is going on around you.

also yoga, meditation, eating right, counciling, etc. definitely practicing casual greetings, even if you're looking down when you say them. I'm still kind of shy, but these things, especially sonder, have helped a lot.

Curing anxiety really isn't that hard.

You only need a glass of water containing an egg yolk, orange peels (just the peels not the fruit), red minced onion, and a few table spoons of ground cayenne pepper.

Drink this a few times a day ideally right before a social situation and within a few weeks to a month you should be anxiety free.

Okay! calm down already
Here's one, parts may not make sense because it was part of a series I did

>That December, one of the regulars approached me as I was leaving the shop and told me he heard about the job I did with the old timer, and he had something similar.
>His nephew was a disabled guy who lived a couple towns down the road to the west.
>Nephew lived on his fatehr's property since it was a ranch house, but couldn't really get around the land so it just sat unpatrolled.
>He had heard gunshots that fall, figured it was the usual asshole poachers, but the shots and late night ruckus had persisted past deer season
>He would go out and patrol in his truck once in a while and noticed his gate had been broken open and there were multiple tire tracks coming and going.
>They were headed down the old drive to an abandoned family farmhouse that was in a distant corner of the property up the mountain
>He wanted me to go make sure no one was squatting in his grandfather's farmhouse.
>Same deal, I parked the truck up by Nephew's house, got a compass heading to the old farmhouse and headed up the mountain on foot through the snow.
>When I hit the old drive, I followed parallel to it. Someone had cut their way in, lots of small trees down on the sides of the road, I wanted to keep my tracks out of sight.
>Got nearer to the farmhouse, I didn't believe I would find anything, but there were fresh wood chips on top of the snow, someone was cutting wood recently.
>I have a bad feeling and want to turn around, but I said I would look into it.
>I dismiss it as trespassing woodcuttters and pushed on to the house.
>>
>>1055829
Part 2
>Plastic sheeting in the blown out windows, oh fuck, someones is living here.
>Post up and watch for a while like usual, no movement, no smoke from the chimney, no vehicles, no dogs. God, how I hate dogs.
>Quiet for a while, decide to get closer: outbound tire tracks in the snow, not fresh.
>I really want to leave, but I gave my word;. I have to go inside and see this thing through.
>I walk up half expecting to get shot from an upstairs window.
>I decide to turn around and leave as I hit where the front door used to be, I've seen enough. Go about 400 yards when I nut up. I gave my word.
>Peeling back the opaque plastic sheeting on the front door frame was just dreadful
>>
>>1055832
Part Three
>First floor is mostly open, quickly clear it. There is trash everywhere. A back room full of stovewood.
>One of the trash piles catches my eye: coleman propane tanks and American Eagle ammo boxes.
>55 grain .223 upon examination.
>This is fudd country, anyone with an AR means serious business. Besides, I knew what I had just walked into when I saw all the empty propane bottles.
>There was a PSA that ran a while back, 'Signs of a Meth Lab', I think I saw every one of them among those piles of garbage, and I still hadn't checked upstairs yet.
>Every step creaked
>My boots were so heavy
>I was really cold
>I was trying to focus on listening to hear if anyone was up there but I was focusing in on all these minor details instead
>Top of the stairs: a room with a squalid sleeping ticks arrainged around a potbelly stove. It stank so strongly of cigarettes in a way I remember to this day
>Next room: a fucked up galley, pots, and trays, and propane burners, and coleman stoves, and that is the crunch of snow under AT tires coming down the drive I hear.
>>
>>1055833
Part 4
>I jumped down the stairs, don't think I touched a single one.
>Too late to run out of the front, they'll see me. Need to find a way out of the back.
>End up in firewood room, meant to run out of the kitchen. Too late, Truck has stopped out front.
>One door slams
>Second door slams
>The unmistakable growl of a junkie, 'Somebody's here!'
>Was that a rifle bolt being racked?? Why can't I hear anything over my heartbeat in my ears??
>Junkie two, 'Look, the tracks been here and gone, ain't nobody here now', the voice of reason of the duo, I thank you
>'Go an get a fire started, freezing my balls off, truck's heater sucks
>I think I might throw up. I had been quietly working at the plastic sheeting in the window frame trying to quietly undo it and slip out
>FUCK It! Jump roll out of the window assault pack first through the sheeting, slide down the hill behind the house gracelessly face first through the snow. It had to be loud
>Right myself and slide down into the ravine at the bottom of the hill. Follow the creek bed back to the road, loop around the mountain
>Stopped to watch my backtrack pretty often
>Arrive at nephew's house well after dark.
>He feeds me some hot stew and scolds me for putting myself in such a dangerous situation
>Police are called, they finally investigate a few days later, methheads have packed up shop in the meantime.
>>
>>1055834
Here's another'n
The following spring, I went out for a morning hike on some abandoned CSX property
>Walking along the tracks down this river valley
>Trying to spot a place to cross the river to get into the fair that summer. I ain't paying $10 and extra for beer but I want that bluegrass dammit
>Decide to just walk up the side of the mountain.
>It's steep as hell, but I just keep going straight up, and up, and up
>Decide to take a break, water and carrots
>Start back up the hill
>Take a couple steps and stop dead in my tracks
>>
>>1055839
Pt 2
>There's this big ass bald fucker directly uphill from me about 75 yards away
>We just stand there looking at eachother, feels like forever
>He's standing next to this big oak tree on a level spot of the slope
>Someone else walks out from behind the oak and I turn right the fuck around, beat feet down the hill.
>I can hear them loosing rocks and logs above and behind me, oh fuck they're chasing me!
>Hit the river valley and I've put some distance between us.
>Decide to head upriver. I can hear them up on the slope, they are moving parallel to me about a quarter of the way up.
>Valley is to narrow to get farther away, so I push upriver, I kn ow the slope turns into a sheer cliff further up and they'll be cut off.
>Hit the cliffs and tuck into a overhang, try to wait and trick them into passing.
>Wait for what seems to be an eternity
>Start heading downriver, I just want to get back to the truck and go home

>While I'm following the tracks downriver, a group of deer bolts past me, now I'm on high alert.
>I get a whiff of cigarette smoke. I abandon the path and slide into a ditch. I crawl inside of a fallen pine tree and wait.
>I hear voices, they draw nearer and nearer.
>Two figures, moving upriver. One has a long gun, the other is the big bald fucker in the Carhardt I saw earlier.
>From what I can see from inside my dead pine tree, they seem to be sweeping up the valley, having quit the hills looking for me
>One passes within 10 feet of me, after all the close calls I have had, that never gets old
>Wait until they've passed a good bit and then just book it the two miles to my truck, hoping they don't have any friends waiting for me down the valley.
>Thank god for shitty cell reception because I made it back to the truck and went home.
>When I inquired about the area in the shop later, I was told that some no good good ole boys had set up moonshining out that way and to avoid the area.
>Lotta good that did me
>>
>>1055848
Dang, son. Did you find out if they ever caught the meth guys? Either way, that would be enough to keep me out of the woods for a good long while.
>>
>>1055954
No, no one ever got caught, the only way to get any justice was vigilantism. May or may not have resorted to that a time or two.

I also kind of grew up being hunted and hunting. Lil bro and I had an ongoing guerrilla war with some kids in the woods when I was 10 or so. We used airsoft, paintball, bb guns, traps, and such (eventually they started bringing real guns) That stuff doesn't faze me too much anymore. It's scary at the time, but there isn't any lasting trauma, it's still just a game to me.

I take fluoxetine, amisulpride and aripiprazole ...initially there were issues with decreased sex drive, not actually getting it up but it sorted itself out in about 6 months . 9 years on no issues in the bedroom, had sex with wife last night.

Getting the RIGHT meds for you is the deal, I spent 3 years of hell trying different stuff /dosages but once it was done fucking hell it makes a difference in your ability to cope. CBT didn't do shit for me (infact it made things worse)

I take a fair bit of other stuff too (DCH in a couple of different dosages /release mechs , pregabalin, naproxen, omeprazole, and metformin) and the only real issue is that I start to go cold turkey if I miss a couple of doses of DHC

best for /out/ for me is stealth camping/fishing, as you're trying not to be seen

Let me tell you what I did. I used to be super shy, couldn't talk with anyone and I would probably be diagnosed with social anxiety. I had one friend who was similar to me and we could talk to eachother without sperging (not a lot though). When talking to my schoolmates I just blanked and felt like a pressure in my chest, an opressive pressure, it gave me an urge to go into fetal (I didn't actually, but I had urges to do so). Then one day I decided to just try my best to talk to people - about whatever. My conversations became almost a stream of consciousness with my friend and when I talked to other people I superimposed the image of my friend over them in my brain. Did this for a year, still had the chest pressure in the beginning but it went away slowly and I could talk to people (not very well, I just blabbered). Then I learned to filter the noninteresting blabber and I didn't feel anxious anymore, except with some girls I liked liked. But then I intentionally talked to them, and became friends with some and some ignore me to this day. But the anxiety was gone and I became quite social. I don't know if I really had proper social anxiety, or if what I did would work for anyone else, but it might be worth a shot. Otherwise, try to force a "hi" when meeting someone on the trail and just moving along your path.

Since I don't like to see people while I am /out/ and definitely don't want to talk to them, what I like to do is strap a scary-black-babby- killing- salt- rifle onto my chest with one of those retarded "patrol carry" slings. Then I go out of my way to be extra friendly and the faggot boomers run away from ME. Try it OP, you don't need therapy or meds, just a bunch of guns!

ever session with my therapist is a like pulling teeth. She cant keep up with my thought processes and the communication barrier is immense because she's trying to use an all purpose model of treatment on me that just doesn't fit. Unfortunately it's part of the system here, once the sessions are up they will move onto something else. I understand that I have a problem and want to change that but he breakdown of the actual anxiety during the CBT has just caused me to focus even more on the little aspects- instead of 3 things I'm not panicking about 15....


>>1057257
Just checked the box, 200mg Amisulpride, 20mg Ariprazole. I'm taking them as it's what the docs seem to think best for me... plus as the other stuff. I'm pretty much a human maraca. I had an accident at work some years back which fucked me up physically (I need a cane to walk) and I'm very iffy about social situations and people now. I miss my old days of /out/ when I'd be running all over Snowdonia and the UK but I still do what I can to keep myself sane but it's tricky striking a balance between what my body can cope with physically and what I can get my head psyched up for and motivated. Getting /out/ keeps me semi sane, but it's a cluster fuck now that everyone seems to want to be out with their supermarket grade gear or in bushcraft cosplay mode

As cliche as it is for a 4 chan poster I'm also a actually a certified, card carrying Aspie but here in the UK it's very very rare to get drugs prescribed for it unless you're a full on turbo-autist (I'm able at least to act normalish in society, I even have a wife lol)

Also pic related helps acute anxiety, at least for me. ACT and/or CBT are great psychological tools for long term intervention.

Bad therapist. Sorry you had to deal with that, but psychologists are like GPs or gfs - it can take time to find a good fit, or at least a competent one. The general principles of CBT are sound, but the practitioner is only human. ACT is another solid choice, and can be self directed if you prefer to work from resources rather than a therapist.

Hmm, give me a day or so to put something together. Recently I haven't been doing much lately, but here are the highlights from my walk the other night:
>I was walking down a dead end seasonal dirt road (Public but people who live there expect privacy)
>I heard a car so I dove into the tall grass following a deer trail through it so they wouldn't be able to see that a human had run through there.
>I have been reading a lot about Vietnam, so I pretended I was hiding from Charlie crawling around in the 6' rice grass.
>On my way back a jeep came down the road and I jumped behind an old stone wall and crawled along beside it for a while.
>Then as I cut through a spooky lumbered section of the forest at twilight I heard this animal snuffing and snorting. I though it was a boar at first since there is a game preserve nearby.
>I unsheathed my Buck and it started coming towards me.
>Then it started barking.
>This dog followed me just out of sight as I wandered around and around this blasted hoodoo land of cleared forest, downed trees and mud-holes cloaked in an ethereal mist in the incrementally dying light
>finally found the passage back to the forest and home after doubling back on the dog and getting behind it.
>I never saw, heard, or smelled a human accompanying the dog. I wouldn't think a dog would wander that far into the forest on its own, was the guy just sitting still watching me? I don't think I'll go walking there for a while, that whole thing in the logged part of the forest gave me an uneasy feeling.

Oh and a choir of hermit thrushes were singing throughout the encounter with the dog, making it more eerie

>which fucked me up physically
fuck man my sister had an accident that fucked her up I remember walking around with her just after she got out of hospital and she fell when walking and some fucking teens started laughing at her so I kicked off then they fucked off elsewhere but when she was getting up she looked ashamed that she was struggling to walk so man I feel for you and hope you improve also where abouts in the UK you at?

Don't let em give you Xanax, over time you'll become a zombie. I had/have anxiety and IBS, a lot of times the IBS was the cause but there was general anxiety too that developed through my early 20s

Finally want to a doctor and he put me in a very mild dose (25mg) of Imipramine, which helped a lot with both issues

But I'll tell you right now, after fighting with it for years, even if it never goes away over time you get better and controlling it and keeping your shit together. I've been in some situations where I felt like I was about to pass out or have a heart attack but they're few and far between now after years of dealing with certain experiences and getting better at handling them

The point is to not let your anxiety control you, you still have to go out and do the things you want to do, and if while you're doing them something goes awry you deal with it, but don't let it cripple you and turn you into a shut-in

i know what you mean

for me choosing whether or not to smoke weed's like the choosing whether i'd rather rid myself of social anxiety but also of my ambitions and mental capacity, or be able to function fully mentally but have social anxiety

i feel CBT works for the less intelligent among us...
anyone who's brain can work at any decent kind of pace and can grasp intricacies of ideas etc. seem to almost rebound the opposite way with it, because it seems to take a seemingly complex set of issues and massively simplify them

>>1056459
how do you manage that?

was it like falling out or do you get social anxiety with your family?
