So... basically, I am a guy with severe social anxiety. This makes me unable to to do any kind of customer-facing jobs and maybe even any jobs which have rest breaks in which workers would socialize. Thinking about jobs someone like me can do, I decided to make art comissions online, but after four months being as driven as I could, I was barely able to make 350 USD (and only because I decided not to have any limits regarding fetish stuff). Can I do some "investment magic" with that money or is it looking really dark for me at this point?

>severe social anxiety
get a grip dude, man the fuck up!
The reason you have
>severe social anxiety
Is probably because you don't excercise, don't get any sunlight, eat garbage, jerk off multiple times a day, are constantly staring at a screen. Probably smoke weed or drink alcohol all the fuckin time. Stop avoiding blame for your problems and get your life on track, don't let your life pass you by
Get a CS degree
Just go on welfare you chud
I wish I knew the key to overcome that. That thing has been part of my life since childhood and far from improving, it's actually getting worse (a few months ago I got seborrhoeic dermatitis because of the stress I experienced at some Photoshop classes I did). I was thinking about getting into autismbux or something like that, but honestly, I believe that would not allow me to ever have a shot at a normal life ever again.
How much of
Is relevant to you? I'm not trying to be a dick but you sound like a like a huge basedboy or you're trolling. If you get dermatisis from stressing at a photoshop class you're beyond help
Idk if I believe this man. I’m 6’1 200 pounds of muscle and I have it bad. Been that way since I was young. I’ve not jacked off, eaten nothing but deer meat and worked construction but I once had to leave a Sporting goods store Bc I freaked out trying to buy a pair of shoes...
Plus a million other examples
Nice larp, but i'm actually trying to help this young man out here
I swear to God. Some people are just unwell
>eaten nothing but deer meat
prions
Ok well if you're telling the truth your brain might be fucked, or you're missing something key in your diet. or your sleep or something like that. Go and see a doctor.
But I bet OP is a little pale lad who eats takeout and never goes outside and jerks off 3 times a day and smokes pot
What’s that? I actually think I first started getting horrible anxiety when I first started eating deer meat. NOT LARPING
I just want to earn enough money to get away from everybody.
Yea never take the pills they try to give you
Yeah you don't have to take pills but you can see if there is something wrong with you, if it's really as bad as you say
no real social anxiety is brain structure thing, like schizhophrenia etc. it would not go away by trying to getting 'used to' social situations. actually that is the difference between normal slight shyness and an actual disorder
It's already too late. Sorry, user.
Great I have the schizo one. Is that a precursor to actual schizophrenia Bc I sometimes hear someone call my name when I’m showering
I'm not disputing that that is possible, but a good amount of the time people feel like that because they treat their body, mind and overall health like shit. I used to be in a similar situation as OP and I got a grip on my life and stopped blaming my shortfalls on
>muh anxiety
>muh depression
ect
all answers here are shit. see a therapist and get some meds. meds is important will help you to get in a functioning state. and then fucking overcome it
No fuck that, most of the pills they will give you will just turn you into a braindead zombie
Only these are true in my case currently:
>don't excercise
>don't get any sunlight
>constantly staring at a screen
Before that I was a bit better in these aspects but still not the most social kid.
>If you get dermatisis from stressing at a photoshop class you're beyond help
I understand that putting yourself in the shoes of someone with social anxiety is not easy. Everyday I used to arrive a few minutes late on purpose not to gather outside the building and have to join one of the groups to chat. Same for the lunch break (I might have been the only guy that went to his home instead of the nearby bars with other people from that class)
I can mention a few more like these, but I guess you guys can get the drill already.
Grow the fuck up, you know what separates you from everyone who came before you? They just went out an talked to people even if it was spoopy to them. You are a coward.
buy modafinil you will become a social butterfly on it.
The main drawback is that it works for too long and it makes it very hard to sleep.
Don't buy armodafinil it's only good for insomnia
>no real social anxiety is brain structure thing, like schizhophrenia etc
You're stuck in a cycle of self pitty and worthlessness. You've been in it for so long you feel like you're stuck, but you're not.
You yourself are acting like you're beyond help. You have to grab life by the horns and say that you're going to do whatever the fuck you want to do. Trust me i've been in your situation and I've turned my life around
We don’t take pills here. Go back
This guy seems like he drank a lot of coffee. But op you just have to do things. I’m normally just very sweaty from nerves but you gotta do it
Bro it's 9:30pm I'm drinking beer not coffee
You need to relax, I know it's hard, but that's the truth. You need to get comfortable in situations that make you uncomfortable. Breathing helps some people moderately, some others find success with repetition and/or knowing the thing they are talking about with relative certainty. There are some other things, but Google can tell you all that shit for free.
I have schizoid personality disorder and social anxiety. Luckily my social anxiety isn't that bad anymore but I still hate being anywhere near people. Learn solidity and become a code monkey. You will probably retire after 10 years if you get paid in crypto and don't waste it all. This is what I'm working towards and I'm an almost 30 yr old virgin. I'm also coding a porn game lol and plan on adding NFT support as a cash grab some time in the near future
$350 in 4 months?
Unless you wan to play high risk contracts or low cap summer shitcoins.
is better if you get a job.
Even a remote job should be OK with your current anxiety issue.
But I’m not sure if a designer job is easy to get with the current economy.
Hey fren, I also suffer from anxiety - not to the same extent as you but still pretty bad. I recomend you see a therapist if you can afford it. If not they sell a supplement called Calm Aid, it's concentrated lavender - studies show that it works similar to low dose anxiety medication; it works pretty well for me - you should give it a shot.
Also excercise really helps me relieve my anxiety and studies also back up the efficacy of excercise in anxiety relief. Anything from just walking to lifting weights - just do something.
If you are having trouble finding work and you think your anxiety is preventing you from finding a job look into Vocational Rehabilitation ( just look up "vocational rehabilitation *state that you are located*") they might be able to get you into a job (you may need a diagnosis first)
Lastly dont listen to the chuds on Zig Forums, anxiety is not a representation of some personal failure, it's a medical condition which can be managed and your not less of a person for having it.
You're a good person user
just live like you are the main character and everyone else are NPCs bro
I kind of do this but almost started giggling during a team meeting at work bc of the absurdity of it all. Gotta be careful
