I am studying in college, at a degree where only a few classes are obligatory. I am so awkward that I have zero friends, I skipped orientation because I cannot socialize. I figured that I have nothing in common with them anyway, so why bother. Now one of those grueling obligatory classes are coming up, and we have to do a report that is a group assignment. I don’t have any group. I have to humiliate myself and ask the random guys and girls if I can be apart of their group. Every day is a new humiliation. Every time I am in a social situation, my heart starts pounding, and I cannot get the breath. I solved this by propranolol, but I still get a lump in my throat that forces me to swallow every 30 seconds, otherwise it is too uncomfortable
Be your own group and do everything yourself like a Chad. (Its a pro gamer move since your group wouldn't have done shit anyway)
>>34448818I dont know u but maybe autism or social anxiety? Could be many things. Anyways, 1.6g NAC daily might help a bit. You could also talk to a psychologist if that isnt too much. Or ask ChatGPT, it isnt that bad altough it might divert things just so you keep chatting. Also thinking good thoughts or body exercise might help.
it is not humiliating to ask people to work on a group project. even if you're told no, it doesn't mean anything. no one has ever faced significant consequences or reputation hits from having lack of success at finding group project partners in college. you are catastrophizing like a small child and using words that vastly inflate what is happening
