See a doctor or psychologist. These feelins aren't apart of you, it is an external disease. Fight it, don't let it win. Like any illness, immediate action is required. Somebody can help you

Just so you know, you're not alone.
I know that doesn't help much, but it's true.

I'm the same way. Major major social anxiety. Major major depression. The sad thing is, even when I do get close to someone, it's just a matter of time before they see what a freak I am and leave.

But,
i've adapted the thought that i'm even tougher than the rest of the world, because I (fear?) them and overcome it on a day-to-day basis. Alcohol and drugs help me majorly, but I know it isn't right.

Dr. Prescribed drugs may help you a little (they did for me sometimes) but the sad thing is, we're doomed. I've yet to find a 'cure' for this disease, but so far the best drug is talking to someone like-minded and being morose together.

Let's go get a drink, eh? At night, sunglasses, you and me. Let's go.

Kd121 how old are you?

:d

It's always good to talk to people about your problems...U should.

I feel the same way mna. When I am alone everything seems wrong and I am paranoid. I have absolutely no friends and nowhere near getting a lover. It led to heavy drinking. Bad thing is im a big strong male and it looks stupid when I feel nervous around a weaker specimen.

This kind of problems are due to mental picture or fear one has. You have to repattern your behaviour. Read "frog into princes" by richard bandler. Appley what you read.
