Discussion Debilitating social anxiety

[Forgetting5]

I was wondering how many people here have social anxiety that makes life not worth living. I can't talk to anyone or make friends. Its been this way since I was a child. Lately I've become agoraphobic and can't even step outside without becoming scared.

I have pretty severe social anxiety but nowhere near the level of not being able to talk with others. But I can't create a bond with anyone - I think I'm partially on the spectrum. And overall it sucks and surely made my life worse.
Anyways have you tried anxiolytics already? Those can help a bit.

I have social anxiety, Asperger's/autism, and ADHD. I've become a shut-in/hiki due to these issues and I've also developed avpd and become a schizoid (self-diagnosed). I'm too scared to even go outside to walk my dog, and seeing people irl gives me a fight or flight response, especially crowds

Yeah I can't bond with anyone either. I can't connect with others
