So, how about that stuff..

Hi everyone,

I am a 24 year old dude. I am an eternal student, I have been painfully dragging myself through my accounting degree at Uni for the past few years which I should have finished by now. I work in admin, my company is rather chaotic and unorganised.. I consider my survival there a character building exercise.

I have had social anxiety since an early age. I really struggle to meet new people, to connect, to express myself without fear and to actually accept who I am.. moreso now than ever. I have a few shallow friendships but lack the social network I need let alone a relationship. I have been diagnosed with Panic Disorder with Agraphobia recently which I am seing a psych for. I feel the PD is very much tied with my social anxiety.

But it isn't all bad, with the help of a few beverages such as beer™ I am capable of going out and burning up a dancefloor near you . I stay sane through music, reading, movies/tv and occasional social appearances with the right people. Oh and exercise when it isn't winter, I hate winter .

Hopefully I can contribute something to SPW

welcome broski. I like the trademark on the beer lol. Don't feel bad about being in school. I'm 26 and just went back to college. I feel so old there, but it's cool because there are so many young fresh women in my classes that I'll probably never have the courage to talk to ANYWAY.

Hi. It's great for you that you can use alcohol to have fun. But don't get addicted ..

Thanks everyone, I am only annoyed that I have taken 6 years so far to finish a 3 year degree lol, I think a massive hangover is generally a bad enough consequence for me not to drink too often

Welcome to this site. And finally, someone else who doesn't like winter! I don't like it either. I'm wearing a big jacket and it's barely sprinkling outside.
