Q: Antisocial person - How Do I Change?

I'm very antisocial, when i'm around people i'm quiet becaue I can't fulfill that urge to be loud and the center of attention; I think maybe cause i'm not the center of attention I get quiet becuase I feel like when I talk I need that attention to keep me going, but I don't know how to hold a conversation cause i'm soo boring. If someone speaks to me, I dont know how to respond; to anything except standard questions like "what school, where do you live...Etc." but those I feel stupid when I ask or answer, more when I ask, cause I have nothing else to say, I feel so lame... I'm not interesting. Is there any advice any programs that anyone can recommend for me to get me out of my shell.

Curing Antisocialism
Hi I am just like you, but I have learned to love myself right where I am. I am not a mistake and whatever I say is how I feel and I just express it. It is ok if people laugh or even say "you are crazy" to me. I just smile and say hey maybe just a little.

The key is accept yourself and love yourself and your self love will just make you more lovable without even trying. I am not saying be arrogant or boastful, but just know that you are a great person who is worthy of respect.

I am still quiet unless I have something to say, and that is ok. If people are having an interesting conversation I'll laugh at the jokes and comment if the mood strikes me or not.

Just be you because the world will love to meet you.

Well first of all don't think of yourself as an "antisocial" person. You obviously want to have positive interactions with people, so that doesn't make you an antisocial person, it's just shyness that gets in the way. When you say you can't fulfill that urge to be loud and the center of attention, that's perfectly common, I think most people are the same way, and it's even a nice quality people appreciate.
So you're not antisocial, you're just shy, there's a difference, and shyness can be overcome. It just takes practice, and yes, there will be mistakes and moments where you feel like you make a complete fool of yourself, but you build off of these experiences and improve yourself.

Get blood work done to check out your hormone levels (testosterone). if your levels are below 700 then there is a problem. Most doctors say that is normal. Its crap. Do the research y0urself if you have doubts. If you are unable to raise your testosterone levels up naturally then you will have to do the alternative. Again, use google and type Low testosterone effects in Men. Its happening to guys all ages now. Not just the oldies.


Hormone imbalance especailly Testosterone is not a new thing. just over looked so pharmacutical companies can make money off of our issues. Smile
