to the shock and awe of absolutely nobody, i have pretty intense and borderline crippling social anxiety

still trying to figure out how to deal with it, but i'm fortunate enough to have a small circle of old friends to support me

the weird thing is that i actually function fine in social situations

i just constantly feel like i'm under attack no matter what

i don't have a keyboard and a moment's time to formulate my responses to people, so i'm often quiet, reserved, and defensive in conversation

but when i do have a little bit more to say, everyone listens and people tend to appreciate my thoughts

that doesn't seem to help much though, and i can't figure out why

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
no

Thats interesting, my friend with social anxiety describes it similarly. He feels like he's cornered

My anxiety isn't social at all. It actually goes away in any social situation. It is very mild/practically non existent when I'm clean (off gear, off caffeine). Caffeine can exacerbate it a ton and the juice I'm on right now brings it to an entirely different level. I feel a permanent nervousness for no reason and a constant feeling of dread, like something bad is going to happen. Even if I'm completely safe inside my room at night with nothing to do. Meditation and sitting with the feeling has helped a lot

Excuse me, I'm full of dog poison
I've been having mild hallucinations lately. No clue what that means.

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.

Basically me.

Although I would characterise any anxiety I have as general neuroticism or as a corollary to having depression. Not specifically as social anxiety, nor crippling.

All my life.

Basically there's either the medication route or the meditation/yoga/eating good, all around healthy lifestyle route.

It's one of the big reasons I stopped drinking.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
