Why does it seem like I'm the only NEET/shut-in here while everyone else seems to just lie about it or make their problems worse than they really are?

I literally am afraid to go outside my house (even stepping outside my room is tough) and in no way am able to talk with people; it's gotten to the point where I haven't eaten in over a week because of it.

There is software that can analyze an image and look for text. It's the sort of gizmo you use to extract text from scanned images. They don't work all the time, but you can train some of them to suck less like you can a spam filter. I've never heard of one being tied into a browser, though. Might be damned useful, sight or no, really.

Going outside is okay. I forgot that I even had my own car; it sure was dirty. I usually just go to the gym, or go read crap at the bookstore. Outside is probably more fun if you have money. Nothing beats computers and the internet, though. It is the ultimate form of entertainment.

Physical maladies have concrete causes, or at least they usually do. Doctors can trace physical problems and disorders to their source and treat them when it's possible.

To this day, psychologists have nothing of that sort. Almost all of psychology, psychotherapy, and psychiatry is hypothetical at best. Chemical imbalances in the brain are hardly "cured" by the medicines they give out, most of them are placebos that just seem to work. Mental problems are mental problems and need to be solved mentally, and this is why placebos have such a good effect.

Schizophrenia can be difficult, that's a fact. But psychologists are no better qualified to diagnose or treat it than anyone else on the planet, they know almost nothing more than the common man knows about it, only they think of themselves as entitled to call everyone with a personality quirk a maniac psychotic. Go look it up, there IS a personality disorder out there to classify every individual alive(many having more than one) and likely a pill or therapy plan to "correct" it.

Plenty of psychological disorders have "concrete causes" such as brain damage or degredation. Even chemical imbalances are concrete causes, whether or not the medications prescribed for such conditions cure them.

Since psychology follows the scientific method, it's as valid as it can possibly be, considering it attempts to understand intangible subjects like human thought and behavior. Go back to the 1800's with your "psychology is worthless" attitude.

When I'm outside of my house I can barely breathe. People tend to like me for some reason though, but whenever they speak to me my mind goes completely blank and I respond with short answers that usually consist of lies, it's as if I'm not in control over what I have to say. After a while people get too emotionally attached to me (be it pity, or whatever) and I start breaking them down subconsciously, I guess I just get bored of them. I've been asked out by several girls when I still went to school even though I was far from being good looking but I was too picky and answered with a cold "No." to all of them. What do they expect when 64 of her friends stand around me forcing me to say yes?

hey OP how about you stop whining like a fucking baby. My parents beat the shit out of me when I was a kid too, its nothing unusual. A lot of people with jobs hate going outside just as much as you but they suck it up because they don't want to leech of their parents forever. Here's a solution, read berserk. Compared to guts you really have nothing to complain about. It will also teach you to stop acting like self centered 4 year old.

I don't know what else to tell you other than not to give in because if you do you've been defeated by society. It all depends whether or not you are a strong enough person to break out of this cycle. If you do it would be something definitely worthy of respect and a huge fuck you to your parents that probably consider you a failure. Start out small and work your way up. Also, remember that the best way to violate the common rules set out by mankind is to succeed.

i know it's hard to actually go outside and talk to someone about it. for me, i had missed many classes and was confronted by a teacher about it. i finally admitted to her and myself that i think i had social anxiety disorder -- she was very understanding and she told me to talk to a doctor. lucky for me i've had a family doctor whom i've trusted and seen over many years and all i had to do was say "i think i have social anxiety disorder". explained that i became reclusive, often avoided eating altogether while i was outside because i couldn't handle lines and queues, and it was just very difficult to even leave my house or my bed some days for fear of embarrassing myself in front of others. when you ask for help, it will be offered. you can choose to be unhappy all your life or you can choose to do something about it. rather than living in my hell i had created for myself i sought help.

My father had social anxiety disorder. He had it almost beaten for years until he hurt his leg and could no longer work. After that, he collapsed completely. It was like he died, but left a talking corpse to lurk around our old house to mark his grave. My mother took my brother and I away from him and supported us as best she could with no education or experience. I was the oldest, so I helped her.
I later worked my way into college (I studied instead of having a social life, yay me), and went abroad for a year in GB. There I met multiple faggots going to the same university who would always find a way to work into conversation that they probably had SAD. All but one still lived with their mothers, and all hated their fathers. I've met this kind of faggot a few times in the States, but those two never claimed to have SAD. I've concluded that it may be a uniquely British faggotry to do so.
To relieve the desire to punch the faggots I remember, I called this one what he seems to be, and told him to leave the house if he's feeling blue AT THE MOMENT. Eat me.
