Anyone have social anxiety?

Aaaaaand go.

That said - I don't really like a lot of people so you know you're not really missing anything in the big picture.

But I'm gonna assume you're in your 20's and DUDE let me tell you that is the time to have fun, do a lot socializing, make a lot of mistakes and have no regrets so get your ass out there and people watch until you see someone interesting enough to talk to.

Baby steps.

Try going outside and smiling at complete strangers most of them will smile back (some will even say HI, HEY, YO, HOW YOU DOIN') and of course others will think to themselves WTF is his problem?

No one is better than you so don't get caught up on that mental game.

So just be yourself and let the world know you exist and that DAMMIT you pretty cool to be around in the least geigh way possible (not that there's anything wrong with that of course).

I know a guy like that, he's cool around dudes but when it comes to girls he turns into a stone. There is times where hot girls actually asked him out and he would turn it down. He says he is confused or some gay shit like that. He ain't gay for sure.

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.

Landser,

I feel the same way most of the time. I have noticed that bodybuilding attracts many people like us, because it can consume all you’re free time, if you want it to. Bodybuilding gives you a sense of accomplishment but the pursuit is never-ending and requires great discipline. I can find excuses not to do things with my friends because of reasons like, if we go out to dinner I won’t be able to keep on my diet or I can’t stay out late because I need to recover from training. I have been a bit better lately but still would consider myself a loaner.
