I saw this thread and I think I should seek help from health practitioners here. I'm suffering from Asociality which has affected me so bad to the extend of making me feel depressed. I can't really say the exact cause of it but it's killing me from the inside, like I can't even socialise like a normal person and it's affecting my daily life. I find it difficult to mingle with new people and difficult to maintain relationship with family and friends. I'm doing well academically and I can response well to question like there is no problem but when it's comes to socialising is zero for me.


(((( Asociality refers to the lack of motivation to engage in social interaction, or a preference for solitary activities. Asociality may be associated with avolition, but it can, moreover, be a manifestation of limited opportunities for social relations. ))))))



Please I need help , I don't want suicide as the end result becos I always feel depressed. I can't really say all here but I need a health professional that I can talk to becos I can't afford to consult one.

Mod pls help

I feel you..I mean I understand that feeling..you shouldn't be too worried tho cos you should get used to not socialising...I mean if you tryna switch up you might end up draining yaself the more..I think you are just being yaself..cool private smart dude.. except you ain't happy with it..

You hate it because it causes anxiety... Anxiety is fear and fear can only be conquered by a deliberate face off with the thing you fear...To push past and win over fear you will have to force yourself to tolerate the associated anxiety for a while until fear gives in and it will give in because you are in control of it...

Deliberately initiating conversations and meeting new people even in the face of fear is a must...Note that this will not turn you into an extrovert it will just reduce the anxiety more and more every time you do it...Introverts may not like crowds but they can still be comfortable socially...

What you fear most likely is rejection or belittling...Before you face off with those fears determine that rejection or belittling is acceptable because what matters is the goal...That is accept the worst case possibility. Even if that happens it is still good practice that will conquer fear and give you freedom..
Understood?

I am suffering the same illness and loving it...

But I talk to family members if need be. I love my solitude as I have more time to meditate and plan.

Depression is real try as much as you can to fight it. Go out there free your mind meet new friends, smile when they say funny stuffs, play with if your that type and see depression flee from you.
