Hi. I have problems talking to people I don't know what it is I've had social anxiety forever and never have friends or talk to people ever since I dropped out of school and became homeschooled. I've tried pills anxiety treatments from doctors they don't work. I don't get anxious when talking to people like my heart doesn't race I'm fine. Its just that when i try to have a conversation my mind blanks out and I don't know what to say and it becomes awkward. I don't know when its the right thing to say andi never go out anywhere. I've had alcohol and I'm not going to day I rely on it bit but it made everything easier. I was more outgoing confident and never was uninteresting. I just want to know if their is a remedy for this maybe a bezo pill like xanax ? I'm not getting better. I mean at work its fine but I'm miserable and always bored . I just want to ease up and be more outgoing someone please help. I'm 17 btw

I really think you should talk to a professional. There are tons of people out their that face similiar struggles that you are facing! I would talk to a therapist they may even be able to help you more than medicine. Sometimes it's just good to talk to someone who will listen and has knowledge on the subject. Lastly, step away from the alcohol (not only because your only 17) but also because alcohol is a depressent and will only make your symptoms and feelings worse!! The best of luck and remember your not alone!
i dont think it is social anxiety. social anxiety is the fear of interaction with other people that brings on self-consciousness, feelings of being negatively judged and evaluated, and, as a result, leads to avoidance. for you it sound like your anti-social. tell someone close to you or contact a doctor.btw don't use alcohol please. i hoped this help.
Hi! the thing missing in your life is your life goal, you need to find out your purpose of life. Your mind gets blank when you try to communicate shows that you have lack of confidence, you need to be more social, make friends talk to your family members, your cousins, more you talk more you overcome your hesitation, once you are able to speak your thoughts, you can concentrate on your goal. Analyze your situation, it is good that you are aware of your problem, now start working on vanishing it.
