I have had OCD ever since I was a child and I’m now 23. On top on OCD I have social anxiety, I have the hardest time making friends. I have not had a true friend in years. I’m very picking when it comes to friends. I want a true friend. I can tell imedetly by talking to someone if they are fake or not. I like down to earth people and not arogant ones……..am I being to picky? How can I stop being so shy and show the real me to people? I just feel like people think I’m not good enough to be their friend. PS. excuse my spelling.

Sometimes alcohol can be medicinal.
I could never graduate from college because I could never pass speech class because I was so nervous I would shake the whole time. If I had it to do over, I would take 2-3 oz of vodka just before and I would do well enough to pass. Measure the amount and be aware of the timing. All you are trying to do is lower your level of inhibition without spending thousands on a professional and lots of unknown drugs.

Its sounds like you’re having a problem with trust. You should try to not be judgmental of ppl-im not quite sure what you define as arrogant. You need to perceive the world in a different perspective, see others as human just like yourself-they have flaws, conflicts, worries, hopes, anger, happiness. I hope I helped to some degree, maybe you get help from a psychiatrist. Best of luck.
It’s nice to have friends of a diverse range and learn how to relate to each of them. You never know what you can learn from that specific person including picking up skills of how to handle a certain personality type. These are basic life learning skills. Most people we met would seem superficially at first, it takes time to get to know someone.
I would not use your diagnosis as an excuse but rather grow from it. With positive thinking and changing your neuro associations that you developed as a child, you can overcome this. There are lots of tools on the market to help giude you. Have you heard of "The Secret"? It is about the law of attraction. There are lots of self help books on this too.
You are still young, make the change now for a fulfilling life. You can do it.
Hi Moe, I am also OCD and SAD (along with Bipolar, Bpd, Agoraphobia and PTSD). I have the same problem. I get so nervous in front of others. It is hard to get over, but I have gotten a lot better. I have been on meds for a while and they help with the anxiety. It essentially it comes down to baby steps. Just start out small and when your comfortable set new goals. I still find it VERY hard to shake anyones hand. I am sure they think that I am just a bitch, but I hate germs. And that’s something I have to work on. Just be yourself, there isn’t anything you are feeling that someone else in any group hasn’t gone through. I promise, it does get better! Be strong. And, no, you are not being picky. I have the same standards, and I don’t like dumb asses either!! You have to be picky in this day and age, there’s a lot of crazies out there!! LOL, Good luck sweetie!
You have OCD, alright. Please ask one question at a time. Which one would you like to answer first? Or do you want a rehash of what your doctor would’ve told you about what constitutes OCD?
You need to try medical cannabis with a group of other medical cannabis patients. It will end your OCD and SAD completely.
