I keep trying to enjoy myself on an night out and fail miserably everytime. I don't know anyone where I live and I have this problem where I get isolated and then I feel depressed and then because of that I become very withdrawn and can't even concentrate to talk to anyone cause I'm very innatentive and the depression makes it worse. I also suffer from a social anxiety disorder and no therapies or drugs have ever worked. I go out a lot trying to fight it and I've managed to overcome it before, its like I get all my confidence back and I can start thinking again and enjoying myself and I don't feel any anxiety even around new people, but I always need someone to reconnect me again because the phycological issues I have and the anxiety are too overwhelming. I can't innitiate myself and interact with anyone until someone approaches me and starts talking to me. Its like I keep loosing this huge part of myself my insecurities always win out.

Being honest... if you have sought a doctors treatment and it didn't work... asking for help from this forem isn't going to get to the answers you need... go back to your doctor and let me know that the anxiety that you feel is disrupting your ability to be social... there are alot of people that medicate with alcohol... that's not the way to go... there are meds out there that work... your doctor needs bring you in or out of some different meds till he finds one that works for you... I would also see if there is a support group for your problem... being with others that suffer as you do will help... they will understand better than anyone... this is very common... the inability to make the first move... they also call this shy... another thing that came to mind is the fact you said sometimes your out going and sometimes not... you could be bi-polar??? I really hope you get to the bottom of your problem... good Luck!!!

You don't want a wild side, you want a social group. There are lots of them around. There are hobby groups and there are volunteer service groups. You can approach almost any mainstream religious group and tell them that you don't want to be converted, you only want to donate some time to a good cause rather than sit around. Do it for a while with one group, and a while with another. See what happens. I'm not the most outgoing person, and I always found that you meet interesting people back in the kitchen washing dishes, too.

Maybe you just don't have a wild side. Try doing things that suit you better than going out and trying to be wild. Find more low key kinds of entertainment that you will fit right in to.

Stop caring what people think of you. Just stop.
Who cares if they think you're wierd. They're gonna think you chop little children up and stuff them into potato sacks if you never come out.
