how do ppl with crippling social anxiety deal with like a broken leg or a festering infection? at that point it seems like youd be choosing between having to go talk to people or sticking with a mortal disease to kill you in a week. what would win out?

i assume at some point blinding pain trumps all else and you just give up and call for help

if youre that far gone then you probably have someone supporting or helping you anyway as its impossible to survive otherwise

I am outgoing and self confident but in reality I only rely on those two things, along with regular exercise, to avoid slipping back into the sweet yet poisonous hands of melancholy

I tell myself this pretty much every time I leave my apartment. It doesn't work because then the physical symptoms of social anxiety start (blushing, shaking, increased heart rate, etc) and you feel like you're going kind of crazy because you're SUPER NERVOUS even though you know most people give zero fucks about you and there's no reason to be anxious. It's really stupid. And like another poster pointed out, most people with social anxiety do their best to avoid feeling like that. And then you kind of stop leaving the house and agoraphobia sets in and oh god it's been a week and I've avoided every responsibility and commitment.......

So yeah. Medication and weed, pretty much.
