Hey,
I'm in college now, with social anxiety- I avoid parties b/c I end up not talking to anyone anyway.
My p-doc thinks I want to use pills to over-compensate and be better than normal, and won't give Klonopin in more than small amounts for special events (.5mg, 15 doses every few months).
I'm like, I don't have a girlfriend, I'm a loser, I don't want to keep living like this. He's like, you'll just take longer to develop socially than others. Isn't this like chemical calvinism? They don't say that to depressed people, or manic-depressants, but somehow socially anxious people, you guys need to cope and live with it, it's not so bad. They have no idea.
