I'm asking here bc you guys always have the best advice compared to other boards, don't ban me please jannies.
But anyway, I have unbearable social anxiety and feel physically ill at school. When there are people near me I jitter and can't sit still and relax. If anyone has overcome something like this I'd really appreciate some advice, I'm honestly at breaking point. Thanks frens.

Immerse yourself in social situations after drinking a cup of chamomile tea. I'm serious, it's what I do. Keep warm, hot chamomile tea around and pour a cup about 30 mins before you need to start talking to someone. The way it works is by binding to benzodiazepine receptors, causing your social anxiety to go away, the reason why you feel social anxiety is partly chemical and partly due to bad social experiences ingrained subconsciously. You need to allow the formation of new memories under relaxed states, which you can do if you simply drink a cup of tea and talk to someone. Give it a try. Don't rely on actual benzos, they are harmful long-term. Good luck. Therapy may also help.

Worst thing you could do for that is gamble, so I would honestly avoid crypto, and even stocks and boomer rocks if I were you. There are plenty of worthwhile investments here in my opinion but they'll likely only fuel your anxiety until they start upward trending, which may take a while and is never guaranteed.
Look into remote contract work. A lot of it is easy, pay is decent, you don't have to leave your house or meet people face to face (a zoom meeting is the most you'll be asked to do) and there's tons of it available with the virus still around.

By the way, went from a KHV loser NEET to someone who's gotten laid 3 times, I attribute it all to chamomile tea. It's basically a low dose of valium but it's not dangerous to take, I can talk normally without the tea now. It's weird advice to give someone I know, but still, it worked great for me and I hope it works great for you OP.

That sounds pretty absurd, but it's so simple I'll definitely try it. Kek if it's really that simple you're a legend.
>>21895259
it's just social anxiety desu, so crypto isn't an issue since I just buy long-term investments. As for remote work, I've considered that, but I'd rather overcome my fear rather than hide from it (if possible)

I feel your pain biz bro.. I used to be just like you. Completely useless normie pleb. I’d get anxiety around big crowds and especially girls. I always looked at popular kids and they always had this unreal confidence and charm about them. I always wondered where did their confidence come from? Over time I realized the confidence they got they literally pulled it out of their ass. I’ve seen thots and complete waste of skins walk around like they got the biggest dicks on the planet..they were not good looking , they weren’t even smart. You’ll soon realize people are confident for their own reasons. There are high level people who literally rape children and get fucked by black guys on the regular basis and yet they feed confident as ever..

Dear anon , you have absolutely no reason NOT to be confident or feel left out of situations let alone feel any sort of anxiety and misplacement. Once you let all of those thought go where you feel like you’re not good enough or nobody will like you or want to be in relationships with you ... you’ll be completely free.

Good luck anon , hopefully one day you stop being a sad cunt and start being a sickcunt..

Just start to meditate 10 minutes a day at first and gradually improve to 30 minutes. This shit is incredible just try it by yourself it's very easy.
Another option is to smoke CBD weed but be carefull if you smoke too much you could feel bad the next day due to serotonin receptors

Mine got better as I got older, maybe my brain settled down or it was just years of getting used to dealing with myself and everything being an awkward situation. It also could have had something to do with becoming filthy rich and embracing eccentricity. Basically I don't have an answer, just have fun with it.

be carrefull though, I'm not talking about actual weed but CBD, the one without THC you can also find it in eliquid on the internet depending on your regular law.
I smoke regular weed everyday and struggled with anxiety for a long time, this stopped the moment I started to meditate. Whenever you feel anxiety coming, just reconnect yourself to your breathe and you'll be fine, magical free tool ;)

Get a big butch boyfriend to fuck you so hard that you'll forget about your anxieties and only think about cock.

Jokes aside, for me social anxiety was a big issue for most of my childhood and teens, and I got out of it through putting on an act. Pretending to be confident, with that it became reality. Fake it til you make it. Its difficult at the start, but think of social interaction as a skill to build up and it should eventually come naturally

If you’re a man (male) stop identifying with anime girls. Anime girls can be cute when afraid or autistic, for a man (or 3dpd woman honestly) those traits are contemptible and will only feed in to an elaborate coping mechanism. “I’m a creep and unconfident but so is XYZ-chan from my SoL hehe”. This fantasy is not good for your mental health or social life

If you get this and not Lithium aspartate as I recommended, be careful

Phenibut has awful withdrawals and is very addictive, similar to benzodiazepines. Use sparingly
