I do. It is a bit better now but I still have no friends and at work they've threatened to fire me if I don't start talking more

Ashwagandha. Volunteering in a charity shop. Escorts or holidays to Thailand.

You have to do something very embarassing in public, such as making a scene in the restaurant or go up to people and ask them embarassing questions such as where is the brothel. You have to do it sober, drugged or drunk doesn’t count. I‘m not trolling tbh, this is what makes you less inhibited. When you can do embarassing things, you can do the normal things easily

That's true and I imagine it would work with enough repetition but I'm too scared to even do that, I tried it once and as i was about to approach this group of people I was shaking and turned back

Since im low key schizo and switching personalities I can be confident or anxious

But my regular self isnt anxious and its mature

You can do it with a friend or someone else who needs exposure as well.

I have situational social phobia.

With complete strangers I can be open and talkative because I know they will never see me an again. I’m an NPC. But with people I will see every day like coworkers or gfs family I shake and tremble because I’m a major character in their life and they know me inside and out. So I gotta be careful with how I act and what I say. I can’t let people know my true identity @manletmachinestream csn you relate or is it the opposite for you

It‘s normal in the beginning. You can start with smaller steps, such as only approaching ugly people or very old people who don’t give a damn about you because they assume everyone in todays generation has lost it anyway and slowly start to do it with normies later

Yes I don't have anxiety with oldcels, but I'm scared shitless of peers and foids

 

[cryptt]

Yea nigga I panic hard while talking to a foid even if she isn’t the best looking

[reasonably_likeable]

Anxiety you are describing doesnt exist

It's just you wanting the role you aren't meant to play

 

[Cuervo]

How to overcome it

Reminding yourself that you're just one individual in a world of billions, and that there are probably many people who will still like your awkwardness because it's sincere. Just be yourself dude

There are just so many, dude. Just have the perspective that it's incredible how there are so many women out there in the world. And never get stuck on what negative shit an individual girl or woman said, she's probably ignorant
