too shy and awkward at the pathetic age of 24.

I'm 1 year out of college with zero friends. I made zero friends in college because of my social anxiety. I honestly tried my hardest in college which was supposed to be the easiest place to make friends. It wasn't enough. Now it seems impossible. I don't have the drive left and even if I did...

I spent time with a girl i like. She was flirting with me and i couldn't flirt back. All i could do was ask her questions. She was very bubbly and nice the whole time and even giggled at my awkwardness. I just couldn't keep up with her playfulness. It's sad because i know if i asked her out...

I am medical lab technician. The job itself is not a problem at all. It's the social aspect. We have a work outings/teambuilding every month (usually things like dinner, bowling, mini golf etc...) + we have work outings for holidays (dinners)+ we have at work events during holidays like secret...

I really want a girlfriend but I'm really shy. I feel really bad that I graduated college without getting one. All I do is go to work and come home. This doesn't bother me so much. I just want a girlfriend to come home to and eat dinner with and wind down for the day. I'd like that a lot. It's...

It felt really good. Wish I could experience it again...

I want to try amphetamines for social anxiety, but doctors don't like prescribing them unless you have ADHD. I used to go to a psychiatrist, but all she gave me were antidepressants and the occasional benzo. I feel like antidepressants are sugar pills and benzos aren't very good for social...

One of the biggest giveaways of my anxiety is when I open my mouth to speak and the words come out all weak and muffled, like my voice is coming from a place in the top of my throat rather than somewhere deeper inside me. Whenever I meet someone on the street that I don't want to talk to the...

Is it even possible to get a girlfriend whilst having social anxiety? Seems like any girl of quality is going to expect the guy to take the lead and dominate. Impossible.

My anxiety is literally the worst at work. I don't even deal with people, but the constant worry about messing something up and being the awkward loner at work... It's unbearable. 40 hours a week is way too long to feel like this. How do you guys cope?

I don't enjoy anything. I use to play video games, but those got boring after playing them 12+ hours a day for years. I don't really have the attention span to watch TV for more than 1 episode although there are some shows I like. I would like to start smoking weed, but I don't have any...

I've always thought the point of life was to have kids. It's sad that I will never get to experience them. I don't want to be that creepy single 50 year old guy hitting on young girls at the bar still acting like he's 20. Whenever I see people like this I feel terrible for them. I can't imagine...

I just graduated college and didn't make a single friend all 4 years I was there. I also have never had a girlfriend and I've wanted one more than anything for longer than I can remember. I'm extremely lonely. I feel like it's only going to be harder now that I'm out of school. I'm considering...
