Going off to college with severe social anxiety (Advice?)

[99 Hunter]

Basically my parents are forcing to go off to college next fall and I think I'm going to completely lose it when I get there.

I have been dealing with extreme social phobia lately I just can't stand being around people other than my family(crowds really get me)

The constant stress is overwhelming and with the idea of being stuck in a dorm with a roommate I feel like the stress level is going to go over 3000.

I don't even know if I could use the showers without being extremely Rekt.

I don't know what to do y'all

(Please don't recommend meds since I don't believe them to be beneficial)

Don't go to college like this. Try getting a job and figuring out what you want to do before you go. You will be forced to interact with people and will be making money in the process. Best of luck.

Find a freak or two. Enough quality throat and box will help smooth you out.

I didn't speak to anyone at college. You'll be fine. I spoke to my roommate and the two neighbors next to us because one of them knew my roomate from baseball. We went to dinner together most nights at the cafe. I never went out with them on the weekends though so they probably didn't like that.

As far as showers, I normally showered at weird times of night when I knew nobody else would be around.

Once you settle in you'll be fine. First few days will take some adjusting.

Different things for everybody. Works for me, though. I've actually been diagnosed with social anxiety disorder and clinical depression. Have no problems putting that out in the open, we're all human. Weed personally helps me

I'm not the biggest fan of meds either. (On a complete tangent, ur writing skills indicate a promising future for u in school. Congratulations!)

First, could I ask u a couple of questions?
1.) What is the primary cause of ur anxiety in social settings? ( I know u looking at me "bytch if I knew th-" lmao! But just hear me out.)
What specifically makes u nervous about others? Is it the possibility of embarrassment? Maintaining conversations? Personal space?
2.) Are ur anxiety issues well-documented? If so, u can qualify for accommodations which may help u with some issues like special lodging.

Outside of the specifics, I would encourage you to develop a plan for ur future if you don't already have one, realize that people are just as flawed as you, and enjoy urself!

That's fukking disgusting, trifling ass nikka. I hate folks who do that country ass shyt

 

[BaldingSoHard]

With all do respect, breh... wtf .

College is the last time in your life you'll be surrounded by women with low body fat who wanna fukk as much as you do.
Literally all you have to do is go to class, use a meal plan, and wear a condom.

Breh I'm jealous as fukk. You better go enjoy that shyt young man.

Smoke with your dormmate ( that's what I did). Just make sure your dorm floor monitor is a cool person.
