Severe social anxiety!!!! Help!!!!

I also suffer from anxiety and the only advice is to keep busy, and spending all those forces that you use to think about exercise, and hobbies, leave porn, there is no goal to reach.
Set goals and meet them that your body does not have energy to think, spend it on something else

 

Well, I recommend you to fight this little by little so that your brain doesn't stop you at first, do a homework once: With, for example, start talking with family members, try to leave at least 10 minutes off the street, try to find some colleague to talk, even if it's silly things, and that way it will reduce this anxiety

 

Based on the fact you no-fapped for 3 months and you're 22 (full of hormones) indicates you have discipline. So for that reason you'd be well suited to learn meditation and become quite good at it or martial arts, Qigong or something similar. People who are nervous all the time just simply aren't in their bodies, they're in their heads...worrying about how the world perceives them. So I recommend learning to meditate firstly but learn it properly, dont simply learn it to get mildly relaxed, read books, here's some:

The second "peace of mind" will help you control anxiety by comforting it in meditation. This process helped me with my OCD.

 

Therapy is always an option. It depends on if you're open to the process.

A simple substitute is journaling, writing down your impressions and emotions can help provide perspective and a cathartic outlet for your angst and anxiety.

You are coming off as panicky and afraid, another option for an anxiety outlet is physical exercise such as chopping wood, hitting a punching bag, or going for a walk.

Coming back round to therapy it's helpful to talk things out with a close confidant, a friend or family member. If you don't have a confidant you can always talk to yourself, speaking out loud accesses a different part of the brain than thinking or writing which is one of the reasons that talk therapy has a documented history of successes.

Important points to keep in mind:
These methods are not foolproof and everyone has their one way of working out their issues, some things will be more effective than others.
I suggest not to try talking to yourself in public, especially when dealing with social anxiety as this method has the potential to backfire badly.

 

I know the feeling my friend.
I never was the type for smalltalk and I have days were i just need to be by myself, but there were many days were I just couldn't leave the house or had panic attacks trying to talk to people.
I've experienced both in my life over the top confidence and crippling social anxiety.
What made the difference was simply movement and momentum.

Having a job, maybe just on the side, were you have to engage with people(as terrifying as it might sound) is a tremendous help, as well as participating in a group.
For me that would be a self help group as well as my martial arts club. The latter helps twofold as you get a ton of movement which eleviates a lot of stress and anxiety and gives you a lot of confidence as well as doing it with other people(many of which struggle with the same issues).

I've always wanted to do kickboxing and mma but it took me a lot of time to get the courage to finally step through that door and have my first training.
I thought i needed to have a better endurance first and better social skills to not be totally embarassed and I was afraid of all the crazy talented dudes and that they wouldn't accept me in their circle and what not.
When i finally stepped through that door 3 years ago - Dude... best time of my life, i had so much fun, people were so nice and when i drove home i was crying tears of joy and was sad that i didn't just join earlier(which one never should be).

It's totally possible, small steps at first but you'll get there. Trust the process, trust yourself, you are worthy of a good life brother!

 

1. Force yourself to join a club or team where you'll be around other people. Go to every event, no matter how much it sucks. Worked really well for me when I started college; I joined a rec soccer team with a bunch of randos, was so shy I did not tlak to anyone for so long. But after 3 weeks they asked what my name was and if I wanted to hang. Just be nice and polite, don't hit on anyone, laugh a bunch, and be down to hang whenever. Just sign up for something and keep going, no matter how nervous it makes you feel.

2. Get on medication or go to therapy. This could just be shyness, but it could be a psychological anxiety issue as well. Talk to a doctor to see what the best steps are. I'm currently taking anxiety medication and its doing me wonders
