The Lethality of Loneliness

I will be dead in a few years then .

 

Well, I never liked people anyway.

So what do you suppose I do about it, eh?
Come up to people and yell in their face 'Hi, wanna be my friend?!'

 

Metropolis.

 

@Darkstar 22.84 You do like people and you crave positive energy from other humans. You're hurt and you've become cynical about the world. Join the Cold Approach Thread, it's in my signature, make a commitment to developing a more fun, social life. There is no such thing as introversion.

 

Severe social anxiety shyness, panic attacks.

 

ADD, shyness and insecurity

 

I like to think that if I lived in a densely populated urban area where I would frequently see/interact people that I thought I would get along with, but might never see again, then I might actually try the "Hi, wanna be my friend?" technique, because the risk/cost ratio is so low. If someone thinks you are weird and creepy, there's good odds you'll never see them again.

 

You'll be surprised how often you see people you never want to see again, in a metropolis.

 

Well, to be fair. You might want to just start with little baby steps if you have severe social anxiety. So first just practice looking people in the eye, just quickly. When you get used to that, hold the eye contact longer. When used to that, hold until they look away. Then try walking in a straight line down a crowded street, look straight ahead, watch people as they move to the side for you. Next you can start smiling a little. Next say hello, and carry on your way. Next say hello, and start a conversation...... you will go onto bigger and greater things from there. All these little things, will help build both your confidence and presence.

 

Had a few anxiety attacks myself early last year, but that was often related to very huge projects and insecurity about them, leading to insecurity in me. Loneliness being a huge factor, because even with everything and people around you, you'd still feel lonely. I have a loving family and a few friends, no gf and I do love to be alone, even though loneliness always takes a bite along the way.

NoFap has made my anxiety significantly lower. I don't go to bars or clubs, but there are always social meetings that you can attend, voluntary work, cafeterias, carnivals and stuff you can go to. Just please remember to totally eliminate P, and highly reduce, if not fully clean yourself of MO = NoPMO. That, what I believe, is causing the real loneliness cancer, because it leaves you no choice, but to be lonely - At least for me.

You can be an introvert and shy, and still have the best people around you and the girl of your dreams. Believing anything else is nonsense and limiting. I'm ADD too.
