I can relate to most of you guys on here. I think what triggered my social anxiety was smoking weed when I used to do it a few years ago. I liked it at first but eventually I spent too much time in my own head when I was in public which forced me to be extremely self-conscious. I suck at starting conversations or keeping them going, but I'm working on that. I'm comfortable around people I know well. Someone said earlier that they get paranoid that people talk about them behind their back, and that's the same with me.

Also, drugs don't help you get over things like this. If anything, pills and hallucinogens make it worse.


This.

Zamn, got me thinking. I can definitely relate to that.. just never thought about it.

You just need to evolve into society as a human being. You don't go from being a baby comin out of your mammas coochie to being someone who got everything going for them with no experience at all.. Stuff takes days, months, years, or lifetimes for people. it just varies on who it is. You'll get yours if you go for it.

and i didnt read anything except the title in this thread

Social anxiety is an illusion. Like you can tell yourself you're awkward, you can tell yourself you aren't. We humans just tend to be self destructive

All these bull shit excuses for just being retarded. Social Anxiety, ADD, all this bull shit. People are just fucking pussies.


Honestly, i believe that most of the time. i think about 75-80% of ADHD, ADD, OCD, Dyslexia, Social Anxiety and Autism patients are simply misdiagnosed. these kids dont have problems theyre just kids, theyre gonna act weird and hyper or be introverted. But for that other 20-25% these issues are absolutely real and they require attention ajd caring parents and all that shit. For me, i have social anxiety as in i get anxiety issues when i worry about social interactions. even when im not worried sometimes my body will automatically go into a panic, and i have to control my instincts. ( i.e. my heart starts rapidly pounding, all my sweat glands open, and my adrenaline picks up, chest feels like there is a bubble underneath heart.) Im definitely not a pussy, i just get anxious. i dont have like severe social anxiety where i cant go and hang out anywhere or i dint have any friends, cant get a girl and that type of shit. but it is very much real.


You're right actually. I do believe that a small portion of kids do have these things, but it's just so hard to believe that such a large portion of kids have these issues. Back a few generations ago alot of this stuff (I'm pretty sure) wasn't even diagnosed. Now whenever a parents kid is acting the least bizarre they need to take them to the doctors to get them on some new meds.


The real truth is that these "Meds" don't do a damn thing except cause adverse effects and any real parent should know that.

In terms of a few generations ago, these types of things were misdiagnosed and often mistreated, i.e., lobotomies, shock therapy, synthesized drugs; Modern medicine is not meant to treat the root of these problems, instead they go after symptoms. Often which the person develops a dependence and/or ends up with greater problems once medication stops.

Pyschotherapy might help you the most, it could be a message from your subconscious thoughts trying to tell you something. Also maybe try switching up your diet a bit. Stay away from processed foods, drugs and all that mess. It aint easy playa but it WILL help.

Good luck.

If I quit smoking weed that shit makes me even more depressed. I never had that "im high and feel self conscious around people feeling". When I was old enough to be more open about my smoking (around 18-19 y/o) thats when my mom stopped caring. I guess she knew I wasnt going to stop anytime soon.

Many of us are in denial and sometimes just making a problem within ourselves. Dealing with anxiety is not an easy thing. It is like battling to ourselves that sometimes we think we don't stand a chance to win. Consulting an expert could help us but one easy way is to open to your family or love ones. internal medicine

Weed will only make the anxiety worse in the long run and it'll make you paranoid

Have you tried looking for a therapist? Cognitive behavioral therapy is probably the best "cure" for social anxiety.
Read a lot about social anxiety, sleep better, eat better, start working out if you haven't, you may also want to consider meditation
Exercise is a natural stimulator of many important “mood” hormones, including serotonin and dopamine.
15/20 minutes of exercise every day will naturally release these feel-good hormones that are so vital to feeling happy and calm.
Study neuroscience in your free time, understand what is causing your social anxiety.
The first step to change is understanding

Just approach a girl once homie. After that it gets easier and easier each time. It's all about getting over that first one.
