Need to get somethings out in the open.

Im confused about a lot of things. In social situations I find myself always trying to analyze every little detail about aspects of the social setting , whether it be whose friends with whom, what actions should I take to do something etc, my mind never stops thinking and sometimes I just sit by myself trembling with my hands over my face, thinking that I'm making a fool out of myself. It just feels like I'm insecure about everything, and it puts my brain into overdrive and I can't ever seem to calm down until I fall asleep or find a way out of being social.

I want to be a really social 'out there' guy but these insecurites are holding me back. Im so paranoid that I think my friends don't want to hang with me anymore, I feel like I'm in a void while everyone is out there living their own lives without me. And it fucking sucks.

Wow! You need to relax before you explode! You're making everything 10 times too hard! Next you'll be discovering booze and getting drunk just so you'll be more relaxed and loving how the alcohol relaxes you and you think it allows you to be yourself around people only when you're drunk you really AREN'T your normal self, you're drunk!

What a mess! How to relax without getting drunk! How to just be you without getting drunk?

Maybe you need to see the doctor and get put on an antidepressant that will subdue your anxiety and allow you to be more relaxed around other people. And maybe you'll locate a counselor who'll be just right for you.

I hope so for your sake. Be good to yourself and follow this plan. I think you'll be happy that you did. Take care and God bless.

Thank you for taking your time to reply to me, it means a lot. I have been smoking cigarettes for the past few months and theye seem to slightly mellow me out, but not to a point of where I would be relaxed. If you think antidepressants would be worth a try then that is great, since I've been going without real answers for a long time now. Thank you so much.
