What would you take to increase confidence/energy?
 

Im too shy around people and its pissing me off. Sitting at a computer working on sites can do that to you.. it seems every conversation I have is awkward now.

What would you take to increase confidence/energy?
Besides weed, alcohol, etc

Is there anything better than coffee?

Smoke SOme Crack

fuck sakes
i mean besides week, alcohol, crack, shrooms, meth, cum, etc

cocaine.

Go to the gym and/or get off your ass

he said cum :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

go talk to a dr

You guys are so mean!

Seriously, get out and go to the clubs! Meet some people, try to interact, at least dance (you don't have to talk). It really helps me out when I need to get out and unwind. And if I don't want to talk, I just go dance with people. No strings, no serious conversation bullshit. Just having a good time.

coffee should do it
drink a lot

None of the above! :) Oh, and take any advice given on this board with a 20-ton boulder of salt!!! :1orglaugh

Just get away from the desk on ever increasing intervals of regularity; it'll do you good. Stimulants such as caffeine won't help; weed, alcohol, etc. will just bring you down. Do you want to project an image of needing artificial highs and lows? If so anything other natural interaction is going to attract those that are head cases! If you want a lifestyle of psychosis then go that route, but be ready for the life in a padded cell of insecurities. :thumbsup

if you're an ugly son of a bitch, nothing will help.

start working out, ride a bike or run daily...or just do really ANY type of physical exercise daily....

there's no other way than actually going out there and being with people.

steroids for sure...

That always works for me as well. :thumbsup

go out some time...get into sports. in that way you will not just get fit, you will also find new friends to interact with.

Sad that folks think they need a drug to be social or accepted...

That must be real hell.

No drugs needed. Just go out or talk to your best buddies around, go out with them and talk to other people.

And we have a winner :upsidedow

socializing is for the weak

remain in front of your computer till further notice

Nothing will help that except to get out and socialize with people. If you don't it'll get worse til you won't ever want to leave the house and you'll have panic attacks when you're around people. When you sit at home all day everyday even if you have a few people come over everyday it's not the same. You need to get out and live life. Remember you do have a life outside of your job and if you don't get one.

Face your fears; if you are afraid of stran gers and shy to be on the crowd, then that's exactly yopu should try to do.

cut down on the wanking..

w0rd soul :1orglaugh

hahahaha

make new friends.

honestly for me this seems hard nowadays, I'm surrounded by idiots

try to have new friends and go the party so that you can meet many people there :)

what you're describing sounds like social anxiety disorder/social phobia. im sure it can develop due to isolation. you've got two options:
1. try VERY HARD upping your social activities to overcome this
2. talk to your physician and tell him what you're experiencing

i had a bud of mine go through this, he went the pharmaceutical way.

ps. i really wouldn't recommend weed....that shit will just make you more paranoid.

and alcohol is a depressant....so no, don't drink, thats a VERY temporary solution...
