How do I deal with social anxiety?
I usualy started to go outside more but I still feel intense fear when I have to talk to people around my age.
Sometimes it feels like everyone hates me

I normally go on my phone if situations get too intense. It's a nice fast break from reality.
Or I go vomit in the bathroom.
I pretend I'm in a movie.

>Sometimes it feels like everyone hates me
Ive felt like this since i was 8 Its not social anxiety thats the problem for me its the intense feeling that everyone hates me

Go out, buy a pack of gum, force some small talk, little by little. Repeat.

Im not really that bad of a case anymore.
I started lifting but I still cant seem to talk to people without fear. I mean I can buy things without a problem but I cant hold a conversation without sperging too much

I chose to deal with it by forcing myself to move to student housing for uni.
Terrible mistake. I've done nothing but embarass myself, I turn down every social event I'm invited to and I hide in my room 95% of the time.
However I started taking antidepressants and I've recently had a big confidence boost because of them.
FEELIN FINE
BUT HOW LONG WILL IT LAST
>Listen, and not talk, until the right moment comes
>never does
>force myself to get on normie level, then try to say something that sounds 'normal'
>fuck up
>repeat
>tfw you realize everyone hates you due to your inability to adhere to the unwritten social norms
>tfw you make everyone as uncomfortable as they make you
I wasn't meant to live in this society

Neither were any of us. I was the same way and I thought I was all alone until I found this board

>found this board
>believes you are not alone
4chan is people being lonely together, we are still alone.
>be me
>be invited to hang out with friends
>forget to charge your phone
>phone dies and friends are incredibly late
>have to contact your friends but don't have a phone
>decide to ask a stranger to borrow one
>"all right, anon, you can do this"
>walk up to a stranger
>start speaking
>burst out crying from the fear and tension
I've ruined every step in my future for the past 10 years because I don't want to talk to people.
>social anxiety begins to fade
>eventually not afraid at all anymore
>have mediocre at best social skills
>have nobody to talk to anyways
whats the point
Stop put yourself down. Stop that line of thinking.
Neurotypicals are literally cattle. Animals whose entire worldview is based on basic animal instincts.
Neurotypical conversation is inane bable. Thats why you can never engage in it. To us, conversation is used for an exchange of information. Where no information exchange is necessary, no conversation.
Entirely logicical to us, but to normies whose cave man instincts mean they are creatures who advance through social means, awkwardness.
They build bonds entirely on emotion. If you lack that ability you are suspect and not accepted into the tribe.
I believe that at some point in in cave man days some normie Alpha males of a tribe of 100 or so began to keep autists around as advisors to them, and thus civilisation was born.
In my free time I've expanded upon these ideas in my journal writing in what I've come to term "Autistic Liberation Theory". Essentially I'm putting forth the hypothesis that all human civilization has been advanced by the non Neurotypicals.
Neurotypicals go through the motions of living, where as non Neurotypicals have always been the dreamers, the thinkers, the designers, the creators. Neurotypicals have always leeched off the fruits of the non Neurotypical thought.
If we were all normies we would still be primitive creatures basically.
Everything normies take for granted they have because of the same autists the ostracise. Medicine, technology, architecture etc.

This. I was successfully getting over my social anxiety for a while only to realize there was no point to it because there was no one to have meaningful conversation with it.
