At some point I might have to accept that this may never go away

I'm only 23 a really young guy and I have so much time to work on my social skills and get a grip on my social anxiety. I practice a bit with my close friends which is not as bad as it use to be but it can still get awkward.

I feel like the real game is gonna start once I get a job and get back into school because then I will be around people more often. One thing I can't stand though Is when people pick up on my problem. I've also noticed that some people try to start crap with me like they mess with me pick on me and I feel like they may see some lack of confidence or something so they take advantage of it or they might see that I am socially retarded or just plain weird and they talk Down on me and I don't know how to handle these situations without saying something that might make things really weird and awkward like threatening the person or I just don't want to co
E off more stupid than I may already look.

I am thankful though for those people out there that may understand and not try to put me in an even more awkward position. At some point I might have to accept this is how I might be for the rest of my life. I hope to get more comfortable talking to people and maybe one day I'll just become naturally good at it but things aren't looking to good right now. I have some other problems too thAt effect the way I view my voice so until I can get over that phobia maybe I can move on. My thoughts are so messed up I keep looking for answers buy I don't think I'll find them.

I always think that if i want something so much and am hoping for it to just happen, ie- becoming more social, that it wont happen. Because thats the problem we all have (overthinking things) but i feel like i cant just stop worrying about situations and therfore it cant just naturally slip into place because im always thinking about it.
