First of all you can get over it by not identifying with those labels. No one IS morbidly shy as if their brain is hard wired in such a way that is unchangeable. Those personality disorders have come about by experience and coping mechanisms. So, you have control. Just choose not to be that way. Of course it won't be easy because you've been identifying with those labels for so long but it is possible.
Also, the Lord may help you. So try praying.

Brother.
Put one foot in front of the other and drive on. I know things suck, beleive me. I know. Forgive those who oppressed you in the past, but do not forget. Find your strength as you evolve through your impediments. We all have some in life. Forgive them.
God is within you already. You are part of something divine. Choose to see it and acknowledge it. If it was too much, as you say, it would not be your experience. These things you are experiencing are growth opportunities for you. You don't have a social phobia, you just need time to nurture yourself before you can face the wolfpack in this world. Don't cut yourself off, but don't take on too much either. The Light You, knows what you need, and you will be steered in these directions despite what your material Self consciously desires or finds comfortable.
Seek the lesson in your experience. Meditate, and learn from it. Make your surroundings peaceful and get rid of "friends" who lead you into trouble, or are just toxic. They are no good for you. Rearrange your living space and burn white candles. Meditate on the changes you want to make.
I suffered the loss of my pregnancy just a month ago, and I wanted to just give up. It felt like it was too much. But, you know what? I am still here, and I have my life to continue living. It's a blessing to be here. You have plenty to be thankful for in your life too. Focus on it. I too, suffer from getting down when I look at the world and all the evils herein. There is plenty of good to see as well though. God is within you. You are part of something divine.
Blessings to you.

Nobody ever truly fits in. Yes, the Lord can help you through this. Invite Him into your life. Pray and ask Him to help you through this. Yet, you have to do your part as well. Join a youth group at a good Bible-based Christian church. There you may find people that truly love God. Remember, man looks at the outward opinion, but God looks at the heart.
If you find one or two true friends in this life, you're doing way better than most people.
God bless you.

First of all, when we ask for help from God, it is important to be in a right relationship with Him.
One can be in a right relationship with God, by receiving and following Jesus Christ.
Acts 16:31 "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved."
Deuteronomy 4:29 "But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all of your heart and all of your soul"
Please be careful of groups like the Jehovah's Witnesses.(those who have watchtower publications) I'm sure that they mean well and are convinced that theirs is the right way, but what they believe in contrary to what God's Word says.
The Lord can help, and in order to help, you need to get to know Him!Read and study His Word. Get into a relationship with Him through His Son Jesus, and pray. Find a bible believing church in your area. Join a bible study, you will learn about our wonderful creator, God, and get a chance to be around like minded people.
Feel free to email me with questions about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and bible study.
Take one step at a time, just do the next thing, ask for God's guidance all the way.

A lot of people feel that way. Just remember that you are a special human being, different from anyone else. God loves you. Just be yourself and stop worrying what other people think about you.
You are what you are. And be thankful that you are alive.

Phil, you WILL make it through life, just as we all do. The first thing you might try is giving thanks for the things that you do have. Prayer is wonderful and for giving thanks---it is talking to God. Maybe you should now try listening to God through meditation. Quiet your mind, listen to music, ask the question, then let go.
You are blessed and you are loved.

Consider this. Life is like a test to you. Its a test by Allah (god) to show how strong is your will and how determined are you in this life to face and overcome any ordeal and challenges you might face before entering his realm (heaven)
Embrace your life and live it. For remember this, only god can take your life for it is he who has given it to you as a gift of his love.
Or put it in my view. I also hate my life. But i tell myself this. i would rather live a lifetime miserably on this earth than suffer an eternity of torment in the fiery pits of hell.

Matthew 5:
1And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
2And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
Read verse 5 especially.

Cast your cares to The One who cares for you....God.
Lift these things in prayer to God. He knows how much you can handle. He is there for you ALL the time.
It doesn't hurt for someone else to say a little prayer for you too...
I just did.

Nothing like looking for answers in a delusional organization whose entire existence has done nothing but screw up people. Try talking to a professional councilor, they have their roots based in reality, not some made-up god creature. Your problems are not unique and I'm sure they can help you.
