Social embarrassment and social anxiety thread.

How do normies do it? The only thing that makes me feel better is knowing I'm not the only one like this

Haha you're a potato

I used to be like that, perhaps even worse.
It is conquerable though, I've mostly eliminated it completely.
First step is exercise and diet, lose some weight and you'll feel better about yourself, and the endorphins from some cardio would make you feel good and less anxious as well.
If you have any friends try and see them or do something with them every once in awhile, that will also help.
Get on medication.
Get 8 hours sleep a night.
Get a CBT therapist to teach you anxiety coping skills if you can afford it, learn them yourself if not.
And finally, perhaps most importantly, get out of your comfort zone. The walk in the park was a good start. If you're feeling brave you can do something way out of your comfort zone and jump in the deep end. Something like a martial arts class would be extremely beneficial.

The trick is to develop a superiority complex. If the people on the bus are all pieces of shit, you won't care what they think. You might even make them uncomfortable on purpose just for fun.

I think normies just have massive balls when it comes to this.
Just adopt the attitude that you're better than them (which you in my eyes based on you level of introspection you are) and that you don't give a fuck.
Think of your existence there as a big fuck you to the Normies.
I believe in you anon.

Thanks anon.
I'm trying to get better, but everytime I try and do something positive I fuck it up and end right back at the start.
My life is a mess. Parents resent me, no friends, finished a useless degree last year, unemployed, don't know how to talk to girls, never even been kissed, 25yo failure.

Walk late at night. It's cooler and there's nobody around.

This. Also, for the bus, wear earphones and even sunglasses if you need to. Helps dramatically with anxiety.

Walking late at night isn't an option. I'm from a literal shithole and the junkies congregate outside at night. Might try early morning though
I will try the sunglasses and earphones
