uh
keep being you buddy

Don't do group. Find club at your college you may have interest in. They have Drama or Improv Club? Drama is full of awkward people, no normies. Also look into self employment . Basically you can monetize any hobby or interest. Tell a little more and could write some other shit. If you wanna do military go head. But don't go in blind or feel forced.

I have heard that suicide helps. You should try it just this once, and hey you never know, you might just like it

I absolutely feel you to a degree, aspie-friend. I was diagnosed aspie as a kid and have gotten a lot of social cues down but lingering issues of social anxiety/depression I'm going to group for. and well. It's extremely depressing?

PS I would heavily advise against military service,

I have a spazzy friend who just lost his shit in basic training from the continual poking-you-with-a-stick routine and I do not advise it to a sensitive young autist.

>Is it extremely depressing?
Yes.

Huh I never looked into Drama club maybe I'll check it out, thanks anon.

I have severe social anxiety too but I hide it from my parents to avoid this exact scenario. It's your fault they're trying to help you clearly wanted this in some way. Also your an adult they can't make you go.

>you clearly wanted this in some way
Eventually I just stopped giving a shit about hiding my depression and anxiety I just didn't have the energy to fake it.
> You're an adult they can't make you go.
I guess you're right maybe I just have to bite the bullet and tell them that I'm not going anymore.

You need to stop caring about how others see you, you do you friendo or you can be an alter-ego of yourself, that can work too(confirmed out of experience),best of luck

my personal balm for this was D&D roleplaying with other reject types. homeschool kid was DM, we had Anger Management Kid, ADD Kid, eventually Black Kid. good memories. it's nice to pretend to be someone else and feel things out in terms of social scenarios with a bunch of other nerds who don't care if you're dumb sometimes.

That sounds real nice, most of my friendships are purely surface-level, i had a pretty tight-knitted group of friends ( still my main group), i opened up to them about my interests and feels and they pushed me away, i just wanted to have people to share the things i love with, we're pretty tight knitted still, but i act on a normie level with them, guess that's the bad part of the "alter-ego" option.

>I'll have to stop taking antidepressants to pass the MEPS drug tests and if I do I'll probably have a panic attack and get kicked out of boot camp

iktf, I'm getting off mine currently.

Question what gives you anxiety and try doing it, exposure works and you can take little steps.

I honestly hope you die. Like get some sort of brain cancer or something. You know for your own good ofc

You need need meds bromigo. Either that or suicide.

Talk therapy never works.

Try out a public speaking group, that sounds more what you need. I think there's a group in the U.S. called Toastmasters or something? Pretty sure they may be in some other countries too. Check them out, or public speaking courses / groups in general.

>>35419007
pump & dump some of the autist(not too autist or you might get in trouble) girls bro they might be a bit ugly but that pussy is prime desu

>>35420675
Everyone in the group is a guy

>>35420652
>Toastmasters
Why does every normie or low level cyborg recommend this shit. Traumatizing yourself with public speaking just makes you even more scared.

>>35420685
Get some of that sweet boipucci, Anon.

>>35420675
autists are heavily weighted towards male

It's supposed to give people the confidence to speak in front of others more generally, not just to give a public speech. People who have social anxiety or have trouble talking to people like OP take the course and build their confidence. Don't knock it till you try it. And if that's not good enough for you, courses like these are also a good way to find shy socially awkward QTs.
