The reason people define themselves as wizards is that they have never had sex. Which is strange considering you are basing your wizardry on you failing to get laid which makes you the failed normie idiot. Thats what i don't like about the rule. You could hit every other square on the normalfag bingo card but so long as you haven't had sex you are 100% wizard. I've never liked that.
you could at least admit its one of the top 3 reasons you are a wizard. after all you are socially anxious around succubi.

>Did your social anxiety ever get better?
I can recall feeling depressed as far back as years such as 1999 and 2000. I can recall feeling anxious as far back as 2001 and 2002. I was first prescribed psychotropic medication by a psychiatrist to treat my anxiety and depression in 2013. I first received the official diagnosis of social anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder by an actual psychologist in 2016. I continued seeing several dozen mental health care providers in between 2013 and 2023 who offered various different types of therapy and medication. I did not get better. I got worse. I developed psychosis in 2019.
>But did it ever get better for you?
I am now psychotic. Hallucinating. Delusional. A therapist has placed a restraining order on me. A few dozen mental health care providers refuse to see me. I lack health insurance. My mother still treats me like shit.
I am told that depression and anxiety go hand-in-hand.
If depression has lasted longer than 2 years–it could remain indefinitely.
No.211671
>>211617No it didnt get better but I am no longer on medication because I changed my lifestyle. I have a comfy hermit life, work from home, and only leave to buy weed ocassionally. This is pretty much the best outcome as far as I'm concerned.
No.211678
There was a period where I think I was starting to develope it a little. Around middle school age, but it was also during this time when I started going to a "autistic support" class that had weekly field trips to crowed places to work on our life skills.
Because of this near constant exposure to crowds, new people, and basic interactions, the anxiety being around people faded and I didn't constently feel on edge that something bad was going to happen.
But I never got full blown social anxiety so I don't know if once you cross that line it's as simple and straight forward to overcome as just simple regular exposure to crowds and basic interactions.
No.211679
I remember when I first started out I couldn't type a post on 4chan without shaking and sweating profusely and I mostly lurked. Then I eventually got over it and was able to post on anonymous websites with minor anxiety. Then a few years ago I realized I could now handle pseudonymous websites, then I progressed to being able to handle chat rooms. In real life, things have gotten better too, I feel less anxiety interacting with store clerks and stuff although my brain will still replay any potential "mistake" I made in the interaction afterwards and make me feel intensely bad. This happens over stuff going back years whenever something happens to trigger a memory that some part of my brain could interpret as me having made a mistake in the interaction, even if I consciously don't think it's bad or wrong. These episodes keep me from interacting with people much now, but I actually feel much less anxiety during the interactions when I do. I do think I am finally making progress but I've yet to really do much with that progress.

Yeah it got way better for me once I learned how to listen to my emotions instead of suppressing them. You are anxious because of something that happened to you in the past.

No.211694
>>211690the idea that there is a psychogenesis to everything is not only retarded. But a meme pushed by media. In stories writers always try to make their characters deep by giving them sad backstorys. But in reality psychology just doesn't make sense all the time. sometimes it does. but most of the time it does not. In my case. I see my anxiety as a clear-cut disease no, birth defect. Nothing prompted it and it was there early on. from before age 4. It is irrationally bad. even towards people who wouldn't/weren't going to hurt me in the first place. And i blame nature itself for it.
No.211695
>>211694not only that but what psychology presupposes is that there is a default, standerd, 'good' or 'right' way a human is supposed to be when in reality everyone is varied. People are clearly born with certain temperaments that are different from each other. But more importantly psychology only outs the ones that don't serve the societal machine. How do you define a mentally healthy person? Why a person who makes a living, has a family and children. the further from that you are the more 'mentally ill' you are. And i'm not saying i'm not mentally ill. But i am saying that 90% of why i'd be considered mentally ill isn't because of my illness itself. But because i don't hit the squares on the normalfag bingo card.
No.211698
>>211694>>211695Psychology has advanced from the sigmund freud days. It isn't about a rando's worldview but rather what is present in the average sampled population. Everyone is different, of course, but doctors are literally trained in differential diagnosis, which helps them diagnose a person taking into account their individual differences.
As for your specific problem, it isn't as uncommon as you think. Coping strategies learned in your early years are powerful and can persist through life if unchallenged. Google social anxiety in children and toddlers. Avoidance is a pretty effective coping strategy because nothing bad can happen if you don't let anything happen in the first place. The trigger could've been mild, but that doesn't matter as the years of experience pile on and the behavior is solidified. I suppose you can blame nature for making you choose this way to cope at a young age, but that doesn't mean you cannot change.

I did my 2 presentations. First one i was red faced, scared and was choking. 2nd one i managed to bypass the fear and i gave a relatively decent presentation that i winged. Didn't stop my fear of people. It just proves the point that sometimes i am able to put on a completely different face and pretend to be someone else. with scripted dialouge. since my first job as an office aide at the front desk of my high school i realized that in a job you are just pretending to be a proffesion.

exposure therapy has very mixed results. some people realize they were normies all along while others don't improve or improve a little then recess back into being spergs.
psychology knows next to nothing about how the mind works. psychiatry just knows what drugs block or suppress certain feelings and is hence 100x more useful than psychology.
thing about normies is that they just want people to listen to their problems. Therapy or psychology isn't an actual science its a paid fucking science-themed confession booth.

It never truly goes away, especially if your parents are neurotic wrecks, but it can absolutely get better, 100 percent. What helped me the most was being around different environments like jobs where I got to interact with a variety of people. It was through a lot of those interactions were I came to conclusion most people really aren't worth so much space in your head, especially when they reveal the type of "people" they really are during their moments of compromise.
Those negative experiences have instilled a thin layer of scorn towards every person by default and with that attitude, my feelings towards what they may think of me became less and less intrusive. I would imagine that mindset would only be possible through actual life experiences proving that being the case unless you are some seriously detached edgelord. You also get older and naturally you find more pressing matters to occupy your mind.
Or at least that should be happening. If you are pushing actual wizardhood, god forbid older, and you still have what can be formally diagnosed as catastrophic anxiety, you need to get unhooked off this device, rummage through your room for some old mp3 player or tablet, and download at least these resources to start working through this

I always wanted to get better at socializing and have friends but eventually I've learnt that this craving is just a mental issue caused by my upbringing and weird teen years. Its best to just not care about socializing at all and not get stressed out over it. Most interactions aren't as special as they seem and there is hardly anything to gain or lose from it anyway. Even if you have friends, they come and go and you're never doing anything meaningful anyway.
Another important thing to keep in mind is that socializing and people lose their importance if you find purpose in something. I think a man is just suppossed to find purpose in things he pursues, it's better to go full autism mode and be confident about it than worrying about social stuff.

the second is crushing over those beautiful, gorgeous seniors which you WILL idealize in your first years as a teacher and it will take a while to spot their defects to the point you lose attraction to them. a few of them WILL hit on you and they always comes from broken homes. sometimes students begins joking around you but since you are a somewhat a powerful force, they know better than to bully you, usually. the one exception i have seen that led one female teacher to tears was a child diagnosed with antisocial disorder.
if you can handle both of these scenarions that will happen in class, you are fit to be a teacher imo. if you go for the hard sciences, be the ultimate machine when it comes to handling one stop equations in case you decide to be a physics teacher like me. highschoolers does NOT know those despite studying them and that is the fault of an overly merciful school system, fixing that is beyond your powers so just accept it and navigate through the snowball of issues.

>>216292yeah most wiz talk about teaching as the worst job in the world for wiz, especially with social anxiety, but it doesnt sound too bad from what you said.
No.216294
>>216293it can be especially bad in the beginning and give you a bit of anxiety during the weekends because you need to prepare for those classes, otherwise yes, it is overblown and the pay is low if you go private, since nobody really cares about education to begin with, we all want that meme paper to break through the bureaucracy

>>216287It's funny, I sometimes entertain ideas of substitute teaching because it's the one job that is always listed, always hiring, has good benefits, decent pay, and all you need to do to qualify for it is pass some tests, but I am laughably unable to handle the anxiety. I can't even handle normal human interactions, how could I handle being the center of attention and being in charge of an entire class? Honestly it's weird, on one level I feel like I don't give a fuck and actually my anxiety shouldn't be that bad, but actually it really is. It's hard to explain the difference in how I think I should feel based on my mind state and how I actually feel in practice.

>>216296substitute teaching seems like where all my fears of regular teaching would definitely come true, as the kids have no respect or fear of you, and you have 0 power over them

>>216297I was just remembering this really mean old grey haired sub named Mrs.Leddy in 2nd grade, and she accused me of throwing macaroni around, and put me at the bad table. But Ralph spoke up and turned himself in.
When I search my life memories, and this is one of the only examples of peers showing kindness to me, its more useful than if it was 0. if it was 0, it might just be self-pity or a refusal to acknowledge or bias. But the fact that there are a handful examples of kindness, shows they made a big impact on me when it did happen. but i can only count it on 1 hand in a lifetime.

>>216296at the risk of breaking the rules, i can't recommend getting over this anxiety enough, you quality of life will improve tenfold because you won't fear groids anymore, most of my issues stemmed from overestimating the abilities of students but they are actually dumb as a brick, nobody gets to highschool knowing one step equations
unironically pretend to be lecturing alone, acquire a whiteboard and some ink if you have the means to and enjoy autisming for yourself. it is also the most effective way to never forget a subject if you are seeking to study something. the first few months will be filled with doubts and questions but you have to power through the lecture ignoring those questions. eventually they all disappear, popping out once in a while and that is that, people seems to call that impostor's syndrome and then fall in a state of guilt because we think we should have studied more. just power through the script (if any) despite the questions in your head

anxiety is linked to elevated serotonin levels, possibly glutamate issues as well. Change your diet to include less carbs

Anxiety comes via fear. What do you fear? Visualize it, and know what your mind tells you you are unprotected before.

>>217380anxiety is an easily, easily treated condition without resorting to benzos. I've already given you lot enough pointers to know where to look up the cures for this stuff. It's related to glutamate transmission, serotonin dominance. You can cut glutamate without amping gaba, and shifting away from sero is pretty easy.
Anyways early pass on this issue is just do SJ's wort. MAO inhibitor, if you take Ibuptrofen you can cut acute glutamate excess as well. I believe NAC helps with that issue as well?

Actually, anxiety is unironically easily treated condition when it's not a mental illness, but just your prejudices/inexperience/fixations/delusions. Just slamming the facts in your face cures it most of the time and quickly. But if your anxiety is a [i]medical condition, my wiz, I'm sorry for you.

Anxiety is simply.
The price to pay for knowledge of the future.
Neuroticism today is I'm finding largely mental exhaustion.
