it's something that's almost out of our control, my social anxiety began from a bad upbringing and got worse thanks to the bullying in high school.
reading people's posts here and sounds like they went through similar things.
honestly though, i know it will sound generic but you're not a waste of space. i used to think exactly the same but i found a passion i could dedicate myself to, eventually my results in bodybuilding became better and better and now i can't go anywhere without someone making a comment (which irritates me beyond belief because they equate bodybuilding to the meat-head stereotype)
is there something you're passionate about or a dream/goal you've had but maybe tucked away over the years?
one thing loneliness and isolation affords us is time to dedicate to a passion or craft!
some of the best musicians and artists who've ever lived suffered anxiety and isolation too.

Hi Goku, Thanks........Yeah, I write (and read a lot) and that's my main passion at the moment, but sometimes I'm even too depressed to do that.
It's hard to be interested in things when you feel so down.......but I'm trying.
