Ok so let me start by telling you a bit about myself. Im a 22 year old male, who works, goes to the gym, plays games, and smokes weed..

Ever since i was 15 i have felt like im not good enough and felt always out of place. Around the first year of highschool i started smoking weed socially with my friends at lunch time, their houses, etc. I have smoked on a regular basis ever since. However over the years my anxiety has grown worse and worse. Its to the point now where i would rather stay home and get high or not get high than to go out with friends. When im not high and im at work or even just at home relaxing im always like panicking my heart races. I feel like when im at work i can be normal and sociable with a bit of awkwardness, but if i have to go somewhere not normal or get caught off guard by a conversation i freak out..

I feel like im not even really truly explaining how i feel, i havent spoken to anyone about this like a doctor.

    I used to be the same. Then I quit smoking weed and realized I actually have a life and people do really enjoy my company. So I push myself to meet as many people as possible, couldn't be happier!

    You don't need to socialize. The highest human intelligences don't. So suck it up and live by yourself.

    I've always been like that myself. I really don't come out of my room.

    you smoking just weed right? no hash im assuming?

    weed is not good for anxiety
    with hash its all cool bro..lol

    my advice would be to lay off joints for a while (or for good after that while, cause ive come to the conclusion that everyone who says im quitting forever never do, but the ones that say a while do it better), but i would understand if its been too long that youve been smoking and you just really need a joint to sleep, eat, wtv, try to get yourself hooked with some hash, really

    Yeah it's pretty normal bud. A lot of us have social phobias but you just have to suck it up and get out there. It may help to lay off the weed before you go out because it can make it hard to hold a conversation. The more you talk to people the easier it gets.
