Just when I think I've found a way to forget the joys of companionship, I break and feel an emptiness in my soul that tears everything apart again. I find socializing a living nightmare. I don't feel comfortable in my skin... why should I expect others to be drawn towards me? Totally hopeless...

I like people and would love to connect with someone and get married, but I simply hate actually comunicating with people. It's so difficult and awkward and it never improves. Practice doesn't make perfect. Something must be different about our brains. Just trying to look someone in the eyes is...

Through exercises I did with my old therapist, i notice the more I keep my mind busy, the less I worry and feel anxiety. I was starting to try that again today. Like, when I'm at a stoplight and I'm feeling self concious and think people are looking at me... I start reading license plates over...

Wake up go to work feel unconfident and awkward around everyone at work Can't wait to go home come home Depressed about being alone and not having a girlfriend go to sleep back to work hating socializing with people Not able to make friends with women gooooooo home and feel like crap repeat...

Ok, here we go again........ I'm a route person for a chip company and everytime I see this girl who works at one of the grocery stores I deliver to, I go crazy! I have a huge crush on her and would love to make friends with her, but I have no ability to develop a relationship. Granted, I only...

I've always been pretty fit my whole life. I ate lots of junk food and never gained weight, but about 3 years ago things changed. I'd say I gained about 15 extra pounds. I'm 6'3 206. Not obese or anything, but it's depressing looking at myself in the mirror. I have a tiny belly, but the thing...

Ever since I've started taking Paxil I've held a job for a year straight without any problems. Usually I get so nervous I quit after a few weeks. So that's cool, but I've also noticed it makes me feel blah about everything. I'm no longer happy watching tv or sports or just chilling. i can't get...

Anyone else feel like your confidence is so badly beaten that the odds of you ever becoming your old self again is near zero? I've had problems ever since I was 15 and now I'm 28 and worse. Between the ages of 16-18 I managed to get a few friends and sort of have fun, but I never really got...

I really don't know how to improve my situation anymore. I've had a good paying job for a year now, but as far as being social, it's still a mess. lt's Probably even worse than 10 years ago when it first started. I see this mainly as a confidence issue. I question everything I do: Stupid things...

There's this one person who makes my life a living hell. If she was out of my life, I would have so much less stress and depression. I've tried for a year to get along with her, but she continues to do everything possible to put me down. It's either her or me. I'm tired of this crap! How do you...

How do I? Take heroin and wear a leather jacket?

Ok, here's the deal. I'm a vendor for a snack company and most of my time is spent driving, but two days a week I spend 1 hour loading my truck at our warehouse. It's a very stressful situation. Basically, the 3 district managers watch you the whole time and usually other coworkers are sitting...

I'm really down today. I've been working as a vendor for a food company for 8 months now. In those 8 months I've yet to get comfortable around my coworkers and the job is so stressful at times, I just wanna quit. Basically I have to deal with 7 store managers and if I forget to bring something...

I'm a vendor for a food company. I like the job, but it's very hard dealing with 6 or 7 different store managers. It seems like one is always annoyed at me for not doing something right and it just adds more stress on top of my normal anxiety. The pay is very good, so i don't wanna leave, but...

I was looking on Daniel Day Lewis' IMDB.com page and I saw this quote by him: (on acting) "If I weren't allowed this outlet, there wouldn't be a place for me in society." That's basically how I feel except I really don't have anything like acting. I mean, my job distracts me sometimes, but...

More, less, or the same as last year?

So, I work as a vendor and deliver pretzels and chips to grocery stores. Most of the mangers are fine except one. These two managers at this store are the biggest a**holes ever! It's to the point where I dread going to this store cause I know something will happen and they will bi*tch at me. I...

So, I work as a vendor for a snack company and deliver to grocery stores. At one store, a new manager just started and he wanted me to put up a new display that my company's products will go own. Technically it's a good thing cause I can make more money, but it's more hassle and personally I...

Everything feels so unnatural to me that I just get sick and tired of dealing with it everyday, yet there's really no point to life if you're a loner with no girlfriend/wife/kids etc... Not sure what to do anymore. Hell on earth

I'm not sure how I'm ever gonna find a girlfriend, if I can't ever feel confident or comfortable enough to look someone in the eyes and just act natural instead of my usual overthinking, worrying, and houghts of looking odd. Yes, I'm shy and it's hard to get to know new people, but my main...
