THIS IS NOT A JOKE TOPIC!

The prospect of making contact with living, breathing people is a nightmare to me. When I see people I don't know (or in some cases I even DO know), I do everything in my power to avoid contact with them. Sometimes, just going outside to check the mail makes me sick.

I'm really confused as to why. I mean I am self-conscious about my appearance and all, but I just... dread even making eye contact with people.

Do I need a shrink? Am I borderline crazy?

also dude you probably wont like it but the only cure, and im fucking dead serious, is to make friends and hang out. most people go through an awkward phase when they are in highschool or whatever, but most people will make friends and then realize that everyone's just as self conscious and there's really no need to be. just be yourself, hang out with people, and it'll all be good. if people are dicks to you then find new friends who accept you and its really as simple as that! going to a shrink might help but honestly you'd have to do what i said anyway, its what the shrink will tell you.

also we will need 1 face pic and 1 pic in your favorite outfit. tft's right we need to get a handle on your d-bag factor before we can do anything.

don't look at me i don't want to talk to him

wait that probably doesn't help him much (unless maybe he becomes afraid to talk to people online and then is no longer afraid to talk to people in person)

Velfarre, you aren't helping at all! He's probably willing to go down on you and you're like NOPE DONT TALK TO ME

Well, to be honest, it's more along the lines of I already have friends, but I'm afraid to talk to them anymore. I've been like this ever since graduation, and to be honest, it has more to do with me being ashamed of myself than anything else. I had plans to go to college after graduation, and I still do, but many things have held me back from doing so, and financial reasons is one of them. On top of that, I can't seem to get out of the endless cycle of being broke. I just feel like everything I've worked for over the past four years has completely gone down the drain, and I don't want to show my face to the people I know who had higher hopes for me.

Yes, I know I sound really retarded and douche-like, but I actually am starting to feel a bit better by posting about it online.

ok so you're not sociophobic you just feel like a failure and cannot face anyone about it.

i think we're getting closer to the real problem here Kitsune Inferno.

Yeah, but I think that sociophobia is a side-effect of what I am feeling.
