I been had it since I was like 13 when I got bullied in class. Since then, I feel like I am not normal and people think I am weird.

I am even scared of meeting my aunt, because what might she think of me ?

I dont feel like I fit in anywhere and the planet would be better off without me.

Ur aunt would probably hate u and physically hurt u for saying this

For real try to get therapy, if thats not an option work ur self up little by little, start getting food in person and paying inside for gas and doing other s*** that forces u to interact with people more, confidence is a muscle work it out

I have a fairly severe anxiety disorder that I even had to be medicated for from 2014-2016, and at one point social situations were a trigger for me.

Now, I'm more comfortable in front of people than I am anywhere else. It takes a lot of work but yeah you 100% can cure social anxiety. It starts with respecting yourself and having an appropriate level of regard for others.

Medication
Therapy
Alchohol

1 of these is not like the others

Yes it takes a lot of effort and time but yes
Medication as already mentioned and a lot of self work internally. I don’t know your situation @op but most anxiety comes from an irrational place and acknowledging that these are irrational thoughts coming from a place of fear, not a rational place is helpful.

Therapy is def the way to go if possible.

I struggle with social anxiety a lot and the best advice I can give to you is throwing yourself in social environments that you normally wouldn’t be in . Start going out more with other people you already know to events , bars and just anything there’s an abundance of people so you have that support system if you start feeling especially anxious and once you get comfortable approaching people in that way you’ll start gaining the confidence to do it on your own . At least that’s how I do it but medications especially helps even though I’m not personally on it ATM

take the L until you can't feel it anymore

just got to embrace it and incorporate it in yourself. I still have trouble with it, but what helps me is to give a "idgaf anymore" mindset

yea therapy

highly recommend having a cognitive stroke that rids you of your anxieties

I'd rather get head and a slow stroke!!

im anxious but when i get that feeling whether it be of anxiety or fear, im trying to teach myself that that’s the direction i should go in, to at least see what im afraid of. so for me it’s throwing myself into the fire sometimes. i also do a lot to reflect, journaling, meditation etc

but yes you’ll get through it

Yes you can overcome phobias

I feel you op. Any amount of self-progress is absolutely possible regardless of external factors. It takes a lot of strength, but simultaneously a lot of patience in terms of learning to let go of certain feelings

It will always be with you but you can learn to let it sit in the back of your mind at least

Try not to take everything so seriously. We're all just humans waiting to find out what's on the other side, floating through space on a flat plate-like object. You don't need to stress man, we only get one life.

I often suffer from moments where I’ll realize that what I’m saying is either completely incoherent or I’m fumbling over my words and it’s the worst. I’ll even imagine the conversation from the perspective of the person I’m talking to and that only exasperates things.

Honestly, what helped me in that situation was to stop and acknowledge how s*** I was at talking, like “Wait, hold on, I’m sorry, I’m a little tongue tied right now.”.

Self-awareness and self-deprecation (to a certain extent) I think can go a long way towards preventing you from feeling like other people see you as some socially awkward weirdo that they should avoid conversing with.

They might think you’re a little crazy, but in a sort of more appealing way.

I kinda realize nobody gives a damn about you in most places. That eased my anxiety a lot.

Also having a job pushed me to talk to people

Back to the drawing board on this one

Quoted the wrong nigga lmao

Just realize the reality of things everybody overthinking it just like you let your nuts hang and do you
