I'm using 'the sticky icky' as a stopgap in the meantime
My advice, try to avoid medicine unless completely necessary.
But I'd like something more legitimate
That makes you more self conscious I thought
It is necessary
I'd rather not play on hardmode
For no reason
I mean I think the world uses alcohol for that
I’ve not drank before though
But alcohol is the big gay
And I'd rather not have my goals impeded by my suboptimally balanced brain
It’s pretty bad for you
Dude, just go somewhere where you know you'll never see those people again and just start practicing approaching people.
Alcohol makes me depressed for the next two days
You'll never learn unless you practice
Idk. Any time i try a prescribed medication it fucks me up big time, so i just do what i can with what ive got.
So id try what Laina suggested
It has nothing to do with that
@♓♏♋ if you are set of taking something then phenibut is the most social anxiety killing medicine

Otherwise you fucking become an autistic fuck who can't deal with normies.
Most anxiety drugs can get you dependant on them so be careful and do your research
I can do that, and repeatedly remind myself to do better and do x, y, and z to further my effectiveness
@Laina as somone who talks to people to sell something daily I still have social anxiety
All drugs are bad, Mmkay?
I talk to 70+ individuals daily
I do tech support
I knock on their doors
Thank you, Jack
@DrWittMDPhD incorrect
Well you're getting put into situations constantly where people will primarily act hostile.
Of course you'll still have anxiety
I’m saying yes it helps but if you have legit social anxiety then certain nootropics can help
Sometimes your genetics and brain just make it prohibitively hard
You're getting negative reinforcement
@Real Spicy Incorrect. Drugs should only be used when absolutely necessary.
@DrWittMDPhD also agree
Yet when I am high, I become infinitely more effective in creativity, practice, and openness
If you're constantly being berated of course it'll be your natural response
