Like I hate going to bars, meeting new people, going on dates, even hooking up because I know the day after my social battery is so drained I just wake up feeling disgusting and have to take weeks to do it again.

Not like a hangover but like extreme embarrassment/anxiety. Just feels bad.

It makes dating hard and I pretty much never hook up with women unless we talk a good while first. Makes hanging out with my friends hard too because I feel like an a******.

social anxiety

i am a hermit so i understand how you feel.

Yeah I hate going out cus I’m exhausted the next day

I don’t get this, no

S*** is awful. Been that way my whole life lol, no wonder I prefer being alone.

Yeah I have that social anxiety. I’m not like that with my day 1s from highschool but anyone new just drains my energy.

Plus I hate being on someone else’s time I like being on my time

Don’t know how niggas do social interactions daily and get caught up in someone else’s bs . S*** sounds annoying

nah that’s all u dawg

Maybe you’re overdoing it

Try shorter timeframes if possible or take time for yourself in a group setting to see how you’re feeling. U dnt have to live up to others expectations

I know exactly what you mean, day after a big social event im always so drained

Probably social anxiety, it's something you can overcome tho

Not like a hangover but like extreme embarrassment/anxiety. Just feels bad.

i get this feeling but only after i and drink bc no matter how much or how little i drink my memory inevitably gets hazy/blurry even if i only got tipsy, so i get self conscious that i did some stupid cringe/embarrassing s*** when i was lit

yeah, i’m pretty good at faking it though

i stayed with my homie back in my home state this summer for like 5 weeks crashing on the couch and by the end of it i was going crazy from not getting to be alone

How does one overcome it? Every once in a while I meet someone who I just vibe with and don't have to go through these awkward feelings.

I had some level of social anxiety when I was young, working a sales job and just forcing myself to have more social interactions in daily life helped, plus gaining higher self-esteem to the point where I don't really care that much about other people's negative evaluations of myself

Idk how bad it is for you, or how much it bothers you, but trying therapy might be something to consider

I can honestly say I’ve never felt that way in my entire life

You need to get over your fears of embarrassment and anxiety. For the most part you’re scared of whatever the hell you’re making up in your head. Thing is, how you feel about stuff and what reality actually presents to you likely have always turned out to be two different outcomes.

It’s normal to feel anxious or self conscious when interacting with people, just try to be mindful and remember that almost every time you’ve had anxiety or fear of embarrassment it never turned out to be as bad as you thought it would be, and before you know it you’re scratching your head as to why you were stressed the f*** out in the first place.

wat lmao

Social anxiety &/or introversion

It seems like you dread FAKE forced social interactions.

Youre a f***ing weirdo man

yeah
