how can i live when i can’t deal with other people

they scare me and i am awkward.
im seriously thinking about killing myself because life is embarrassing.
i really don’t know what to do i mean i don’t want to hurt my family.
but it’s getting worse and i want to hide in my room now forever.
i don’t think things like this when they get this far can be cured.
i don’t know i know for sure i don’t want this life but i don’t want to hurt my family who have always tried to help me.

If you don’t want this life, get a new one.

Can you tell us how old you are? Life gets like 500 times better after high school.

That isn’t helping.

All of us have feelings of doubt and insecurity when it comes to interacting with other people. For some, though, this may be a sign of behavorial disorder, and it might be best to talk to a therapist, psychiatrist, or someone like that.

No matter what, don’t give up. This situation is not incurable and not worth wasting your life for.

does this mean you don’t have any friends and never have? no one you can connect with?

yes i don’t. sad eh? i have my family though, but nothing much they can do to help and i don’t want to be dependent on them like a child although i am kinda…
i don’t know what scares me just their ease at talking and relaxed-ness scares me now as i am awkward. i feel like a loser sitting there while people do things. i just don’t know to be honest. i don’t know what started this, and i don’t know what will end this. yes i’m pretty sure i have a disorder but i think it’s too far gone now.

I’m almost the same way, though I wouldn’t ever kill myself. I’m 21, never had many friends, and I spend a lot of time alone in my room. I’ve been slowly improving and you can also. It’s probably a good thing to be awkward these days. That means you don’t fit in with the dumbasses and jerks that are running rampant. Try talking to a psychologist. They can help usually.

I’m kinda the same way too…and definitely was at 21. I’m 31 now and still can’t really talk to people easily. I just have my sister who has basically been my only friend.

What kind of work do you do? I bet if you worked in retail or some kind of customer service where you had to deal with people all day it would help…lots of people practice.

I’m somehow the same , maybe noticing many people being like you would help , besides, maybe if u try to get close to some friends makes u feel better cuz u will see u can find people thinking like u and many people feels lonely inside, and don’t try to be very social , just try to have few but good friends. I can be intimate with one or two friends in each period of my life and that makes me calm rather than being in many relationships , and having a lot of acquaintances!!!

Help me with: I am in a really stressful period of my life,

i didn’t mean we can replace a Dr,i just didn’t want him/her that i don’t want 2 listen 2 him/her…once a while i said this 2 s.o(i said see a Dr) and he said if u don’t want 2 listen 2 me leave the post….!i didn’t want him/her 2 conclude the same way….that’s about all.
