Today, tired of my social anxiety making me look uncool, I told everyone I was going out partying tonight. I'm actually just going to watch 'Jersey Shore' and pretend I'm with the cast. Something even more sad? I'm really excited. FML

Today, my friends told me that they couldn't make it to my birthday dinner unless I changed the time, because I'd made dinner reservations that would clash with the new episode of Jersey Shore. FML

Today, I got all dressed up, in high heels and a sparkly dress, to sit in the library for most of the night so that my roommate and his friends would believe that I have a social life. FML

Today, after being excited and trying to make plans with all my friends, they all turned out to be busy. After watching Netflix most of the night, I check my Snapchat stories only to see them all hanging out without me at one of their houses. FML

Today, I had to lie to my boyfriend about having plans on tonight so he'd think I had a life outside of him. All my "friends" are going to a party. I'm not invited. FML

Today, I posted on my Facebook wall that I'd gotten into a huge bar fight and had the shit kicked out of me, all to avoid having to tell the truth, namely that I'd stayed home all night because nobody invited me out to party. FML

Procrastinating my life away

By Beatrix - 11/11/2024 22:00 - Canada

Today, I tried to be productive and got dressed in real clothes instead of sweatpants. I spent the next four hours on the couch binge-watching Netflix and pretending I had plans. FML

Today, it's Saturday night, and also Halloween. Instead of going out, I'm sitting at home on MSN telling everyone who asks me what I'm doing tonight that I'm 'going out in 10 minutes to a party', then when 10 minutes pass, I block them. FML

Today, I pretended to drunk text some friends. When in all reality I was sitting home all alone. I don't know what's worse: that I pretended that I was social and drunk, or that the friend I said I was with was actually with them. FML

Today, my wife got so upset I didn't hold her while Snooki from Jersey Shore was crying, that after the episode was done she locked herself in our room crying. Now I have to sleep on the floor of my living room. Thanks Snooki. FML

Today, I felt like too much of a loser to go to a Christmas party, since I'd be the only one going without a date. I had to invent imaginary friends who were "coming into town for the holidays" to feel like less of a loser. FML

There are therapies and medications that can help with social anxiety, if it's affecting your life to this extent. I suggest you get help.

Well, just look on the bright side. You already know you have a problem, which means step one is done. You are embarrassed about this problem. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be posting this FML. Now you have to do something about your problem. Take a risk. Take a chance. It'll be worth it in the end. Go out, party, and have a good time. Disorders like this aren't as uncommon as some believe, and I know they can be very difficult to deal with, especially over a long period of time. Sadly, though, the only way to truly tame this disorder is to face the very thing causing it with full force.

Or OP could value his/her sensitivity and find less overwhelming ways to confront social anxiety-- join a quiet book club, host a small dinner party or BBQ, or find a meetup group based on a hobby. Those things have built-in conversation starters. Partying is probably too big a step right now, not to mention that it's not everyone's idea of a good time anyway. I don't have SAD and "partying" in the traditional sense would be agony to me. Loud music, drunk strangers, and crowded rooms? No thanks.

haha u need to start fresh somewhere else or just go crawl into a corner and die cause that's just sad dude

Starting fresh won't cure a disorder. The best way to overcome a disorder like that, at least in my personal experience, is to face your fears. I find it weird when someone calls a girl a dude. :/

OP, I have social anxiety as well. You don't have to live with it. Go get treatment for it. Today was my first day of treatment, so I know how you feel.
