You have to willingly put yourself into a social situation, one that has an easy out, so that you aren't constantly thinking of interacting with people as a scary thing you're forced into. Even if you don't talk to anyone, making yourself go to the park or zoo or a restaurant alone is a start.
And maybe get on some pills to make your mind less retarded.

I tried beating social anxiety three times and failed, all while staying at home after school and being your typical otaku. Now I'm just your typical otaku but I don't talk to anyone. I talk to AI, use 4chan, and Reddit when I seek attention. That's how I cope. I sometimes fap to feel some love or something.

My bad maybe I should've clarified. I wasn't looking for advice I was more interested in just how anons deal with it only. I get what you're saying though. Baby steps and stuff like that. I won't deny exposure therapy has it's merits but I literally just don't want to. I've already accepted not wanting to get better and that's the first step anyway to fixing something like this. Honestly as I see it inviting more people into your life besides ones you are already comfortable with just comes with more risk, negatives, and responsibility.

Something changes when you turn 30. You kinda stop being a fuck. You're still a sperg and a total fucking mess but you stop caring about being judged by normalfags or whatever goes through their heads. You still read their tiny little faulty circuits and see the evil in their eyes, mind you, you just...stop giving a fuck.
It's liberating. I kinda wish I'd stop giving a fuck earlier.

Lot's of drugs, experimental and otherwise. You'll eventually fry the part of your brain that causes you anxiety and that's okay. Only took me 10 years of inconsistent drug use but I think I've finally killed most of it

I haven't tried very much but I imagine the constant mental and physical stress just never full goes away. I just want to avoid it now at all costs. I'm so fucking done having to just suck it up.

I've just turned 25 but I've been dealing with this shit my whole life so maybe I'm on my way there. Like I said in op only recently I've kinda come to the realization that I might just have to hate everyone so much it overrides everything when I am going schizo when being around or interacting with people. Like if someone talks to me unprovoked and I get stressed I just have to imagine killing them or something idk man.

Alcohol has somewhat helped me but I'd rather not fry my brain with a bunch of shit. Weed has already made it worse because it definitely does not mix well with my brain chemistry unless I'm alone. Besides that I haven't tried anything else and don't really plan too other than maybe some psychedelics if I ever can get some.

>I haven't tried very much but I imagine the constant mental and physical stress just never full goes away
In my first attempt I got lucky because I was around very receptive and gentle people. In my second and third it was very stressful, yes, but my symptoms weren't that high to the point I felt physical distress. Social anxiety makes most of socialization turn into an humiliation ritual.
>I'm so fucking done having to just suck it up.
I feel the same.

>my symptoms weren't that high to the point I felt physical distress.
For me that's a major thing. Physical distress is so high I cannot calm down the mental part of it it's so fucked man.

>Social anxiety makes most of socialization turn into an humiliation ritual.
Basically yeah. Regardless of all the stress factors realizing everything is just this stupid fucking mask wearing game and having to participate is also really tiresome. I have to participate in these social rituals with these creatures as if it's expected and normal fuck that shit.

going to the gym and becoming more confident in my body has helped alongside becoming more misogynistic so i dont care if women judge me since their subhuman inferiors.
