In that case get adderall. It will be even harder to ejac but you'll be super chatty and friendly at least

I was on real high dose adderall from a doc but I stopped taking it because it was super expensive and I couldn't afford it

plus people abuse it so much my pharmacy would give me an IOU for half my months prescription

Pretty bad. Like, I don't like going out of my apartment if I can help it. But my girlfriend and my therapist both bully me into social situations with the hope that I'll feel better about myself around others some day. :unsmith:

I won't.

Oh, put that thing away, Samurai. We all know what's going to happen. You'll swing your sword, I'll fly away, and probably say something like, "I'll be back, Samurai!" And then I'll flutter over the horizon and we probably won't see each for... about a week. And then we'll do the same thing again.

lololol girlfriend in a social anxiety thread. that's like coming into a thread about financial insecurity where people are stressing about their high five-figure student loans and saying you feel insecure about being debt-free and having only 20k in savings at 25 or some poo poo. stay inside, douche.

No, all my deformities are surgical after-additions. Plus tons of scars and I'm running on dead body parts.

Basically this:


Only without the muscles.

Or the handsomeness.

Same quality apartment though.

Antidepressents and CBT did wonders for my social anxiety. I was floored when I started being mindful of all the negative self-talk and cognitive distortion I engaged in throughout the day and realized that the lovely, judgmental things I said to myself were irrational and making me avoid social situations for fear that others were thinking the same things about me. But the truth is, they probably aren't. You have no way of knowing unless you ask them (and sometimes, if I am close enough with the person, I will push myself to check out my worries with them - most of the time, it's all in your head). Once you start to tell yourself that most people are more concerned with their own lives than with whatever small "misstep" you've done, it is really freeing. Also, try to accept that not everyone is going to like you and that's okay. "You could be the sweetest, juiciest peach out there. But some people just don't like peaches."
