Social Anxiety advice needed

Hello, Lovelies!

I have learned some very valuable lessons in the past month. Some were somewhat hard to handle, but not too bad. I found out I had ASD back in November '17 and I was a wreck. Fast forward until now and I am doing way better.

I have trouble going out in public, now. I have always had social anxiety and I have always felt unsure of myself. Well, experiences within the past five years have really shaken my trust in other people. I will elaborate. Some of this will seen fairly banal or obvious to some of you but keep in mind that I lived at home until age 25 and at that point I got tossed out on the streets to fend for myself. Completely homeless with only a car. I am thankful that I did have a vehicle and I am aware that I was extremely lucky to have one. I don't have a car now.

1. I learned that people don't make logical, well thought out decisions for themselves. 99.99% of people have a herd mentality. If that guy said It, I better believe him cause he is muh friend. He would never lie cause he is a nice goy.

To put it another way, people give credit to what other people say. I don't, personally, I have always thought people were stupid, but people actually don't question what some random person will tell them.

I was sickened when I found this out. If a homeless crackhead from the street said you were a communist, mass murdering anarchist, people would believe that. because that crackhead doesn't have any reason to lie to them.( I have seen it happen!) You could try to explain until you passed out from lack of oxygen that you were not a communist baby eater but you wouldn't convince this person even using the best empirical evidence.

2. I learned that people will use you for your resources. The part that stings the most about this is, I once let a guy sleep on my floor because he was facing homelessness. He turned around and stole my money, and treated me like crap afterward. He wasn't grateful for the things I did for him.

Now, I am always careful with who I deal with. I never give people handouts(I never did) and I mainly stick to myself and I don't trust anyone. I now pay attention to what other people say and how they dress and act.

Conclusion: I am constantly stressed out and there is always a knot in my gut and my head feels like It is going to explode. I am very aware of the hypocrisies in society and the lies.

At some point you will be kinder about peoples weaknesses someone was not born addicted to crack or stealing, I have made bad choices have you ?
you will feel better if you go out !if you don't you will start to rely on your anxiety !and anxiety is not the truth! are you addicted to crack cocaine! have you stolen from anybody !times that by all the other people who haven't.
Think about the people who might fear you! and yes you have been blessed I have never owned a car .
go for a short walk come back and think about that experience .
The exercise will give you an endorphin boost, help you sleep as your eyes will be stimulated by the light.

I would like to be on a miracle drug that would just sail me away into la-la land. Fortunately these drugs already exist! They have existed for two decades! And I am working towards getting prescribed them!
be aware a lot of GPs don't give out addictive antidepressants anymore,they are in cahoots with the big Pharma companies to give out ssris.
unless you can afford to privately pay for prescriptions .

Very good information. I am getting a private doctor finally. I was going to the ghetto free clinic downtown but I'm about to go see a decent one and I'm paying good money.
