Anyone here have social anxiety?

>is it inevitable?
No. There is also a big chance that you're so nervous that you can't even get an erection

yes but it depends on your situation

i have always been shy as a kid, i was friends with basically everyone in my school until 6th grade (i transferred schools because we moved)

i had tons of trouble making friends, i stayed home all day playing call of duty and now im 22 with this bullshit problem

lmao im not bragging idiot, id rather be ugly and feel comfortable in social situations

im basically saying how i have all decent looks yet they're useless to me

does that medication have bad side effects? or withdrawals?

I think it’s more likely that you won’t cum at all

>Feels bad boys, I've actually had 8-9s ask me to hang out over instagram (they literally asked me on a date) and I gave excuses

stop giving excuses, go on a date with them and endure whatever humiliation might come your way

it's the only way to make it brah, trust me

I've never really had any more social anxiety than your average normie, so no not really. I generally enjoy being around people, but I also really enjoy being alone, so for most of my life I was able to find a pretty good balance of the two. In my last 2 years of highschool (im 20) I hit a bit of a depression and my reclusive habits got bad to the point to where even to people who were my friends I had essentially fallen off the end of the earth. I'm over that shit now, well, at least I can recognize when I just need to kick my own ass into gear and get shit done instead of wallowing in it.

Getting a job in customer service about a year and a half ago pretty much killed any "social anxiety" I ever had, I don't really give a fuck anymore. That being said, I almost never leave my shell anymore. Both of my intimate relationships that I've had since puberty have ended with me feeling drained, depressed and confused, so when it comes to women I don't really leave my shell anymore. I don't really have that same confidence I used to in terms of the initial attraction aspect, the fact that a woman could be attracted to me doesn't really occur anymore, a girl holding eye contact with me doesn't initially register as potential attraction. It'll only occur to me a day or two later, and even then I'm still in doubt.

Now I just lift, study and stick to myself. Nobody bothers me and I can go about my day at university and it feels like I'm not really even there in terms of how people react around me, I kinda feel like a ghost desu. I'm not really complaining though, I kinda like it that way but I'm still vain enough to miss being noticed every once and a while.

Just venting, feels nice to offload every once and a while, blogpost over.

>have crippling social anxiety
>no self-esteem
>virgin at 34, never had a real relationship
>makes 20K a year, lives with parents temporarily
>bouts of deep depression, tried to kill myself when I was in college, probably will eventually go through with it
>not bad looking, just terribly generic, looks young (like early twenties, even young if I shave), no one takes me seriously
>decent personality, no one gets to see it due to shyness

why you scared of females?

its ok bro, i know them feels

not that user but yes, i took escitalopram for a year+ and it sort of kills your libido
once you want to get off them you gotta taper the medication otherwise you're in for some mildly bad shit

Finally an user with real depression and not the meme kind.
32 neet here. Not khhv. I had a pretty good life but dropped out of everything at 23 and sleep 16h a day since

Because you could sit at home and be insulated from human contact.

Your mistake is thinking that social anxiety is abnormal. Everyone feels that shit to varying degrees. I hear a lot of people talk about it like they have a medical condition when the vast majority of them are just under practiced and convinced.

New technology always impacts society and this whole "social anxiety" epidemic is clearly a side effect of people not practicing face to face interaction.

I took Citalopram for about 4 years. I guess my libido was impacted a bit but lifting helps a lot to mitigate that. Tapering off was rough. Took me a full year. I was physically weaker, and a mental mess. In a better place now though (or, at least, I hope)

I have this too.
>Over 250 tinder matches
>Photos from when I was dyel and like 17
>Get at least 5 messages a week from girls
>Have no drive/ability to flirt for a few messages and ask girl out
Still a virgin because I do the same irl. Girl shows interest and I don't pursue. Nofap seems to be helping though.

Damn dude this is specifically me. Have you tried meditating? It really puts you in the present moment and makes you way more social. When I do that and nofap my personality does a complete 180 and I socialise very easily.

Holy shit is that that will guy from big brother? He was the most based reality TV contestant to ever exist
