I got kind of an internship helping out at the church close by. Is that okay? I have a ton of anxiety and am trying to live with it. I'm starting next Tuesday with the church thing, I also am going to group therapy and take walks everyday with my dog.

What if you're a socially isolated sperg with practically no friends, but its because you chose to be? There are few people I actually enjoy the company of, I couldn't care less about 99.9% of humanity, why would I want their banal company?

Pic related.

More practical advice: Distract yourself by buying shit and playing online games. Go wild and harass people until you convince some mentally submissive dork to become your follower. Realize how little it matters to have friends in adulthood. Or become an cultXist, it will distract you for these bad early years, and you can make us anons pay the price for you cause you're gonna be preaching bullshit, pushing threads off topic, and wasting everyone's time all the time. Good tradeoff?

[Anonymous No.14098016]

Check out How to win friends and influence people, or Talking to Strangers. In general anything self help regarding something you seem to struggle with. I’m general reading is a good hobby to have to provide some level of escapism in life, but you should also address your issues head on if you’re struggling with them. Someone else in the thread mentioned getting a job with people your age, or going to church. I’d highly recommend both if you’re looking for more human connection in your life. If you feel as alone as it seems that you do, then breaking into some social circles would solve your issues

[Anonymous No.14098057]

>>14098016
Correct.

Social ineptitude / anxiety may also be due to physical problems like a lack of exercise or poor diet. Regularly lifting heavy weights / doing cardio improves both the mind and body, making you feel and perform better. Plenty of vegetables and regular sleep are things to prioritize too.

Pleasant Hell by John Dolan aka the War Nerd

He' basically you (well, us) but he was a young sperg in California in the 60s and 70s. It's hilarious reading it and seeing how similar the coping mechanisms are despite decades of difference, and he's also a great writer who articulates a lot of shit I always felt better than I ever could.

He also turned out fine so maybe he'll give you hope.
