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 like how I look when I'm looking someone in the eyes. Everytime I talk with someone I come away depressed, anxious and hopeless. It's becoming so frustrating that I've pretty much stopped trying to put myself out there. Even at work I just wanna do my work and go home without anyone bugging me.
The whole thing is just getting old. I've been to therapy and tried to use CBT, but it's impossible to repair my damaged confidence. I mean, how do you when it's this bad? I feel trapped: On one hand I can go weeks feeling perfectly ok living all alone avoiding everyone, but then one day I'll run into a cute girl at work that I'd love to meet and date, but I know it;'s impossible with my mental state and confidence problems.
It's pretty simple for me: Until I fix my confidence problems, I just can't enjoy an intimate relationship with anyone. The solution? I have no clue! None! I'm 28 and I'm still living like a frightened 13 years old boy. It's a lonely feeling when you are so low, you can't talk to someone without feeling out of place or screwed up.
I don't know guys, I'm runnin gout of ideas
