MASTEROFTRUCK

Whatsup!!!! I just recently found something out about myself, that I JUST LOVE EVERYONE, I JUST LOVE LIFE!!! I like 2 make people happy & please everyone, Im all about peace and love, i think id be a hippy if i didnt have social anxiety! LOL Its like i just found myself and before i didnt know who i was or how to act but now i found myself & now i just have to work towards my social anxiety so i can bring that person out without always having this social anxiety barrier up stopping me from being myself.

I dont think i'll ever get rid of my social anxiety its too severe but with the help of PSN & non real life contact iv been able 2 reveal the inner me and that is just about enough to keep me happy 4 eternity even tho i'll never be able to bring this person out into the real world i can atleast talk to people on PSN without giving a flying f*ck & share my love virtually with u guys! Life is a wonderful Gift social anxiety or not.

What Do You Think You Would Be Like If You Didnt Have Social Anxiety?

 

I wouldn't be having a stroke over the fact that you capitalize every single letter, that's where I'd be.

 

 

 

But yeah, I'd probably be a much more chill, calm person without anxiety.

Let's see. I probably wouldn't have a constant pounding heart beat that goes through the day and night, I would be clear minded and not randomly cry from time to time at work when I find myself briefly secluded from people to get in a few tears, I wouldn't hallucinate seeing blotchy lights in my vision at night when I'm lying down trying to fall asleep, I wouldn't randomly disappear from everybody I know for days at a time to get away from all the issues I'm facing at home, I wouldn't be smoking or taking an occasional xanax trip to soothe my mind, and I wouldn't listen to the same 10 second loop of a song that's looped for 2:48 over 2000 times and only having it on my ipod for a little less than a month because that's one of the few safe ways for me to cope with a great deal of pressure;listening to it non stop.

Life would be chill, definitely.

 

Actually I take that back. This is an awesome song and I wouldn't mind listening to it 20,000 more times. Bring on the anxiety. :ph34r::ph34r:

Ahhh. I don't have social anxiety. Bonus part here is I am a hippie. I love life and I love everyone too. Just like you.

 

Now I understand there are a sh*t ton of definitions of "hippie" and one of those is to try and influence change for the better. I hope you can do that effectively though PSN.

 

-Deleted crazy ass long hippie rant. No lie, this f*cker was nearing book length-

you know sometimes I get performance anxiety.

I've thrown up the morning before starting a new job, for instance. or been completely unable to sleep the night before a really important day. but aside from being shy when I was a lot younger, I don't think social anxiety is something I've ever had to deal with.

 

talking with people comes pretty natural.

I tend to hate big parties but that's because I don't get drunk anymore and loud/drunk people are the worst.

I'd be able to hold conversations with people besides saying "Uh-huh" or "Yeah."

 

I'd probably get arrested for whipping out my dick in public. I already have a tendancy to do that, so just imagine if I didn't have social anxiety.

 

I'd go to parties and public places more often.

Me too man, but that blue pill works in like 20 minutes and you can go for hours.

 

...oh wait I think we're talking about something different.

I love everyone, too. If I had social anxiety and imagined I didn't have it, I'd be a lot like myself.

My anxiety died down back in 2012. I'm a much more calmer, less worrying person because of that.

I was anxious to find myself.

So I went into house of mirrors.

”LOL, get lost. That's not me!”

 

Everything turned out great later, I founded myself without searching!

Troll topic countered by meaningful posts

 

It seems less of a troll thread and more of an 8-year-old finding out forums for the first time. Hey, close enough.

 

<srs> I was pretty bad a few years ago, but I know everything's a lot better because I'm looking forward to making friends at Uni instead of dreading it. Guess it was part of growing up and lots of thought, still need confidence though. </srs>

The best way to curb social anxiety is by accepting yourself totally. Own your faults, weaknesses along with what it is about you that makes yourself great. Easier said than done I know, but it works.

 

I personally don't think SA is something that will ever be totally eliminated from some one who suffers from it. I was involved heavily in the rave scene in St. Louis from the late nineties through early 2000's and that's what helped me a lot. I had moved here for a relationship that didn't pan out, had lost all the mutual friends that I thought were mine too, and was pretty much alone. I came across a message board for the local scene and started talking to people there and then eventually wandered out to an event. Few years later I was part of a production group, promoting and setting up warehouse parties, lol. I made a lot of friends and really came out of my shell. Before that I had been to therapists, put on anti-depressants and Xanax that never really made the feelings go away.. (Xanies were ok though..)

 

I share that to show that putting yourself out there and getting to know you is really the only way to get over the stigma of being judged or shamed for who you are. I still struggle with SA, and probably always will, but it's no where near as debilitating as it once was. And if it get's bad, or I see that it's starting to effect me, I force my self to get out there. It helps..

 

There's also lots of resources on the interwebs for SA. Do some reading and then start putting yourself out there. :blush:

 

Now, back to trolling Online!

I have social anxiety when I'm around crowds or people I don't know. When I'm in a crowd of people I don't know, its gets terrible. Whenever anxiety kicks in, I get really awkward. I'll just sit there, trying to avoid all contact with anyone else. If I have to talk to someone else, I won't know what to say because I'm so focused on the nervousness. I'm hopefully getting meds for it later this month. Hope it helps it at least a little.

Alcohol worked for me.

 

 

...but then it stopped working. To be honest, I can extoll the benefit of a drink or two, to an extent, but the truth of the matter is you'll only overcome it by - you guessed it - socializing. Even baby steps. Join a club of likeminded people. Get out there.

 

And try a drink (assuming you're of legal age) but take a sliver of advice from a grizzled old otter - don't rely on it.

As for finding yourself: you're always in the last place you look. Hope that helps.

I used to search for meself, and the meaning of life. Then I found Jesus, and I no longer feel the need to search. I mean when I realized Jesus is the key to everything it just made me feel that I had arrived home.

 

After that epiphany I have read only bible, and left all other philosophical and religious works aside. No big loss, since I had already read them all in my youth...

I wouldn't say I've ever had a problem with it, but I used to be pretty shy. To be honest, what helped me was smoking cannabis, it gave me confidence and a close friend group, I went from having barely any mates and never going out to having loads and being out pretty much all the time.
