haha your not the only one brother.. i was 6'2 in high school.. lol

CBT.. it works well... also following a deconstructive philosophy of life (Buddhist philosophy works well) really really helps..

instead of looking at the picture as as whole, start with emptiness, and then add the pieces that make the whole.. you will see when you add the pieces nothing effects your emotional states outside of yourself.. no one is looking at you weird.. no one is thinking they dont want to talk to you..

find the negatives in the parts and replace them with positives.. take baby steps.. and you will see that the reaction you get is alot easier...

treat it like you do this forum.. no one judges you here right??

im a mod and i enjoy having a conversation with you... you dont say or do anything weird here.. no one judges you here.. and your conversational...

and remember, when someone shows negativity to you.. its not about you.. its a reflection of themselves.. just as the anxiety that you get in social circles is a reflection of yourself

That "picture as a whole" paragraph is interesting. I love philosophy but I only needed one year of it for college :(
Well said though.
 
Suffice it to say everything from my physiology to my psychology is pretty well screwed up.

Why am I still here? lol.

Anyone else notice that Google seems to be a little screwed up today?

When I do a search, the search bar disappears from the results page and I need to reload the whole shebang.

I struggle with social situations too at times. Especially when like you said, it's not with like minded people. Having a tight knit group of friends definitely doesn't help. Kinda the same thing we've all done here LOL. We just hunker down in this thread and don't really socialize with the other members too much. I've been trying to make it a goal to put myself out there more and expand my social group. It's hard though, especially as a male in your 20's trying to make new male friends in their 20's. I would imagine it's even more difficult the older you get. But, look at it as a chance to expand your social group. You never know if one of your lady's friends is gonna have a husband or something that could end up being your new best friend, or be a great contact to have. You gotta look at EVERYTHING as an opportunity and think about what you can take away from the situation. In short, fuck everyone else it's all about you lol.

We had to write a paper in philosophy on "why am I here" and "what is reality"...shit got real deep and complex but outside of the research paper (in my own thoughts) I came to a conclusion.
Why I'm here isn't the question...it's what can I do while I'm here in this reality? I'm here, so might as well make the best of it while I'm at it.

I believe we should look deeply into things, but every now and then it's so simple that we over look it. Kind of like fitness and weight training. It's all simple math :) too many people make it too hard lol

I like where this thread is going now haha. I've been trying to find ideas for expanding my social group and where to meet people in general since I'm not in college. I'm also reading "The Natural" by Richard La Ruina. Not that I have any interest in being a PUA, but trying to learn as much as I can. I'm just about as anti-social as they come for the most part.
 
there are different stages of anxiety that people have in social situations.. the first is usually the hardest..

approach anxiety.. it comes with the feeling of rejection..

there is a simple drill you can do to overcome it..

go to a bar that isn't close to you.. and doesn't have people you know.. in hollywood that's easy.. in a rural place its not...

order a beer.. drink half off it ...

walk around and ask every person there if they want your beer... 100% of the time you will be rejected... the idea is to get numb to rejection ..

when you have no fear of rejection approach anxiety disappears

LOL all of us sitting at a table in the back corner of a bar talking shit about everyone else in the room haha. Except Doc, I can tell he's a little social butterfly. He'd be inviting everyone to come sit with us. I think it would actually be cool to meet you guys in person though.
