Anyone else have such bad social anxiety that they only lurk

Yeah, I have pretty bad crippling social anxiety. I have no friends irl and I keep trying to make friends on discord and stuff but tend to freeze up when someone interacts with me. you're not alone anon

my legs shake, like when you get into a fight

Its horrible because you know everything should be normal and there is no immediate threat

I'm not sure that's my problem. I've been able to interact with people just fine. I just dislike having friends for long periods of time so I avoid making them.

yes
i keep trying because people get mad at me if i say i don't care about being social
i really don't care tho
i don't want to have friends
but people get mad at me if i don't try

Yes, it didn't used to be this bad for me but now I haven't interacted with anyone online without anonymity for around 6 years. Weirdly enough it doesn't really translate at all to face to face interaction. I can make small talk and have no anxiety towards dealing with anyone in person.

I think it's just my crippling impression that nobody would actually want to be around me longer than necessary so there's no reason to interact with anyone online, let alone try to make friends.

me. anything beyond shitposting
