Good evening

For the past 6 years I have been having social phobia or anxiety... to the extend that

1. I hate working along a crowd or an open place...especially when I am alone
2. I find it difficult to maintain eye contacts when communicating
3. I feel nervous working along a street ,etc
4. I like staying alone especially indoors.

You're welcome

Ok

Self discovery

Sociophobia...there has to be an underlying cause. Were u abused physically or emotionally as a child? Were u restricted indoors mos times? were ur parents/guardians paranoid about the world? (evil ppl,witches,poison vendors etc)?

U need psychoanalysis psychotherapy and u need to be more focused on real goals and motivations like money making.. These will help bolster your confidence and make u forget to some extent, people's perceived scrutiny Towards you..

I would suggest you see a psychiatrist.There are some behavioural therapies (e.g CBT ) that you would benefit from.You may also need medication if necessary.

How old are you?

thats fear of open places.. I think he is terrified of interacting with people/crowd

For 6 years? What made you come like this?

Hang out a lot, even if alone at first. Drink a few beers. Hook up your dream girls (they are closet runs girls, you would see them if you hang out a lot and know what's up). F.u.ck a lot. I repeat, fuu.ck a lot. The experience of demystifying your dream spec does wonders for your Psyche

You would see things, experience things, learn things. Your body go come down.

Social anxiety is a product of isolation and exclusion. If you defeat isolation and exclusion, then say bye to social anxiety. Soji yourself by following the instruction in my first paragraph. And thank me later.

Is just the mind.Work on your mind.

.How many friends do u have?
.Pick a outdoor hobbie or sport
.Try not to stay indoor everytime
.Try to chat more with friends online it will build confidence
.Apply for a job


BTW i know u must be a strong vaseline extremist

You'll see a general practitioner.. ..who would then refer you to the appropriate specialist.

It is not a problem, that's just who you are...
**Modified
You need to accept, embrace yourself for who you are. Has it occur to you that there are people who wants to be of your type, just like you are wishing to switch side.
For me, going to see a professional in this case is just like trying to submit yourself for a new phobia test...
Why am i telling you this, i am like you with little difference.

Take fancidar

hmmmm, really, what are the solutions?

Just start practicing to do those things yu have phobia for and u will get better soon

You're just discovering yourself, that is who you are. I have some of these also

You think this is USA abi?

They haven't treated malaria properly e come behavioural or psychological issue.

I suggest you find what you are good at and do it with people.

That way you build more confidence.

Moreover, we all have our fears and insecurities so don't think you are alone.

Try to tackle your fears by doing those things your are afraid of.

That's the best

u can't experience this shit without becoming a vaseline crew member;they must go together. It is a shitty poo situation. I suffered it for over eight years, but my saving grace was my roomie back then in sch. Bad nigga reformatted me.

In addition to this, you need to visit a qualified Psychologist for one on one counseling process to begin. Just know that you are very normal.

Make videos of yourself before leaving the house and watch them immediately. Do not leave the house until you make a video. This would strengthen your confidence muscles. Concentrate on your positive gestures, your words while seeing the video, and don't pick too much faults.

And Or,

Change your walking or sitting posture. Walk with outstretched legs and your head upright.If you overburden your legs while walking, or sit wrongly it would not send enough energy to your brain. The body function can be distorted by any little change we make. Think about what you started doing to your physical body 6years ago and stop it.

OP, I was EXACTLY like you a few years ago...I mean to a T. I still hate going out, but I am better now. First of all, if you masturbate, stop it...or at least reduce it drastically. If possible, have constant sex...lots of sex (ofcos with the same person). Then focus on something, one thing...till you become an expert in it. It could be anything...animals, writing, politics, power of the mind...anything. Just be so good at it that people have to come to you whenever they want to know about it. This will boost your self esteem. Start with this...You will get better.
