Question by 3xOsc: Serious Question for serious people. Social Anxiety? need help.?
Hey guys whats up, this is gunna be a bit long so bare with me.
I’m a 17 year old guy and iv been having problems that i really don’t know how to explain. To paint you a picture i used to be known around my school for being a fun and i knew everyone in the school even if it wasn’t in my group of friends that i hung out with everyday. So i was popular i guess. Anyway, I dropped out of school, and have did alot of drugs before and after i dropped out. Smoked weed everyday have done Extacy many times coke and shit but it was all in good fun and i never “abused” it i guess you could say. For some reason recently after dropping out of school i went into this like depression. i talk to no one that i used to know. i wont even pick up their call’s. i feel that it has to do something with me not wanting to fall back into that life style again even tho im having like no fun being by myself, i sit in my room pretty much everyday and just play video games and smoke weed. this has been going on for like a year now. Heres where the insecurity kicks in. Im afraid to hang out with my old friends because i dont think ill be as fun or ill be socially awkward around them like i am around my family some times. idk its really bugging me and im not sure of how serious of a problem this is. Anyway let me know what your thoughts are and thanks for taking the time to read this if you gt this far. peace!

hello hun,
i know exactley how you feel as i am the same and i’ll tell you why you are like this. Its the drugs! namely the weed really. I suffer from panic attacks and anxiety and i cant even pick up the phone and speak to my friends sometimes either, its horrible. First things first, you need to stop smoking pot, it may be worth seeing your GP to maybe speak to a councillor. You can talk to them about how you feel without the fear of being judged.
Once youve stopped smoking you’ll start feeling like your old self soon after and you’ll have the confiedence to go out again and socialise like you used to. Dont let the pot ruin you! give it up 🙂
All the best xxx
