Anyone have social anxiety?

[landser]

Seriously, I use bodybuilding as an excuse and rationalization to never go out. When I need to be I am very confident and assertive, but I have become a complete hermit, for the last year, other than going to the gym and work. I have been out not even once with friends in at least a year...i feel I am wasting my youth. I cant even ask a girl on a date, yet I am good looking and girls always comment on how hot I am...I feel stupid posting this, but was hoping to hear if anyone else is like this? I have a serious problem.

I'm in on this one. I've left the gym halfway thru a workout, many times, because I thought everyone was watching me. I also avoid social situations alot. Sometimes I can go out and have a great time, no prob. Othertimes I avoid at all costs.

Hey guys, don't worry about anyone judging you.
Who cares who says what about the way you dress, cut your hair, what you eat?!!

Please try not to think that way. You are wasting your lives. Go out, make friends, ask girls on a date. Go to a movie alone or take a trip somewhere nice on your own. It does not have to be with some other person all the time.

I like to socialise but I like to take time out from social circles to read, recharge my batteries, make plans about my life. Meditate, enjoy the environment without anyone nagging, talking, screaming.

Silence can be a beautiful thing.

Don't bask in misery. If you don't make an effort now, noone will for you.

Why was everyone watching you?

I find that leaving the gym halfway thru a workout is a silly idea.
