I'm so fed up with this shit. I just want it to go away. I've tried psychotherapy, medication (Cipralex and Effexor), and even hypnotherapy, and nothing has worked. I just back into psychotherapy, but I don't feel that it's helping any more than it did before.

I'm at the point where I can barely talk to people now. It's so hard for me to think of things to say, let alone humorous things. This is really starting to worry me. Sometimes I feel that I used to be better off, and I somehow got worse. Maybe I actually get worse, and maybe it's because I started thinking about all this. Whatever the reason I just don't know how much longer I can take this. With each passing day I become more worried about my future... how am I going to succeed in any career if I can't even interact with anyone? Will I ever be happy again? Will I ever meet anyone??

I have a group of friends, which I am extremely grateful for, but I've noticed that I don't even interact with most of them. I'm just the guy in the back that laughs at everything. Why can't I even talk to my own freaking friends?? If I can't even talk to my own friends, how am I going to make new friends, let alone meet someone special??

Please, tell me that there is a real solution to this. And please don't tell me it's psychotherapy or medication, because I've tried both.

Tell us more about yourself. How was your childhood? I believe every bad thinks comes from childness.

I don't know what to say. Because i am 20 years in this shit. We have 65 years old blushing man here in the forum.

I am capable of doing talks shows i believe. Most of people don't know i have this problems. Yesterday i wanted to ask phone number of beauty colleague. I couldn't... finally she asked me to take her for dinner. This is only because 1 or 2 weeks ago i was so calm and so energetic, we had a very funny little talk.

When i was a child i used to believe that i was stupid. My mother used to say "look at that ugly women, look at how she dance, disgusting..." when she watch TV, or woman passing by street. I thought i would be the same when i laugh or talk something.

She was saying the guy who make jokes "oh thats not funny at all" I remember this now.

Tell me more what is your core problem

Well I didn't exactly have a golden childhood. My parents were always working, and when they weren't, they didn't spend a lot of time with me. So my older brother was the one who usually looked after me at home, but he was very unsupportive back then. He'd always yell at me for little things and call me stupid and all that shit. Because of that, I was scared to make friends, so all throughout grade school I barely had any friends. So, I never got to properly develop my social skills.
