I started applying for jobs, and it’s funny how every listing always says things like “excellent communication skills,” “proactivity,” blah blah blah, all things that only normal people or people with some experience seem able to do. I don’t know how to do anything. I’m 26 years old and I’m afraid to look people in the eye, I stutter, I shake during any interaction. I overthink every interaction; it almost feels like some kind of cognitive problem. Sometimes people ask me open-ended questions and I genuinely don’t understand what they want to know.

I’ve never worked before, and that keeps me from being able to have a normal conversation with people. “What do you do for work?” Nothing. I’m nothing. “What about college?” I barely got through it. I studied something I hated and it took me seven years to finish, and in the end I couldn’t become a good professional or build any networking connections.

But beyond work, what even am I? I’m an empty person, with no hobbies. My greatest pleasure is sleeping. I wish I could sleep forever

Even when something good happens, I just wish I didn’t exist.
When my parents help me.
When I feel loved.
When they compliment me.
When I get a good grade on a test.

A feeling soon comes that, even so, it still isn’t worth it.

I remembered conversations I had when I was getting to know someone, and they would say, ‘Plan something for us to hang out you and your friends.’
And I said, ‘I don’t have any friends.’
And I think this is going to happen again.
If I try to build a friendship, the person will get to know me and realize that the only social circle I have is them
and that’s weird, and it breaks the other person’s expectations they thought I was cool until they found that out.

Como seria possível tratar a ansiedade social com a psicanálise, se eu tenho medo de falar? Sei que na psicanálise o paciente fala bastante e isso por si só já me causa ansiedade. A maior parte das pessoas com ansiedade social costuma se tratar com a TCC e não vejo muitos relatos de tratamento com a Psicanálise.
