Crippling anxiety

[Sslsh]

Anybody here has crippling anxiety and zero social skills? At 25, not being able to talk to strangers or people of the opposite gender, and not being able to walk or sit in public places because of self consciousness/body language issues, feels like living a crippled person's life. This ONE thing is what's wrong with me.
Had I not had anxiety, I would have had a near perfect, worry free life. But alas, my life is filled with regrets, missed opportunities, failure and eternal solitude. I wish covid restrictions end soon, so that I'm able to end my suffering.

I had basically no friends in high school & was a loner. So, I understand where you are coming from.

I fully understand you. I have a lot of anxiety and zero social skills. I'm just very uncomfortable around most of the people. I'm afraid to talk, I can't hold a conversation. Throughout my life I met only a few people that I was comfortable to talk to. Even on the phone I can be awkward. It's really hard to live like that.

Self-consciousness is hell, I can relate. I gave up trying to heal, now I mostly try to accommodate my misery.

sadly yes, makes it hard to make real friends.

Same here. Most of my post teenage life, I've tried to accommodate my misery because there is clearly no cure

 

[Insomniac]

there is clearly no cure

retarded Psychologists tried to gaslight me into thinking that I was just being negative for admitting to myself that there was no way out.

it's sad what they'll do for money. lie to innocent people.

I've been doing much better ever since I stopped trying.

heavily relate. non-existent social skills + anxiety is the worst combination

Anxiety can really be hard to deal with. Our own thoughts can torture us. I have always been prone to it, and I had it really bad a few years ago. Now it's more anhedonia/depression even know sometimes I can have overwhelming anxiety. Being around people is really exhausting for me and I have always struggled with communication and it has brought me great stress.
