I've been in and out of Afghanistan for the better part of 8 years and I have completely fallen apart
In high school, I had no problem talking to girls or being social, but now it just seems like I don't want to deal with people and I get really nervous around pretty girls. I constantly insult people and my sense of humor is fucked
Is life even worth living anymore?

Thank you for your service anon. It is worth it. Maybe you can meet femanon who served as well and knows the shit you go through. Someone is out there.

Hey anon, another vet here and a peer support specialist apprentice from the VA. I dealt with a lot of change since coming out. I only got out August of last year so my experience to transitioning is kind of fresh. If you want to ask me anything, just ask away.
I know what you mean about sense of humor being kind of shitty. Most civilians are softies and get butthurt easily. You can't even say the word "fat" without someone in the room getting offended.
>I got a problem talking to girls and being social
You can work on being social in general rather than just focusing on girls. Thats what my behavioral counselor told me and my group of friends now are mostly other vets. You hang around other vets? Meeting other vets is a sure way of practicing social skills. Talking about how much you hated/loved your service time and listening and telling sea stories are always fun. Are you seeing a counselor or anything?
