Fix ME! I is BROKEN!!!

[Perad]

Firstly i should let you know that i am sipping some suspicious absinthe while eating cheese crackers. Strangely enough it goes... anyway... back on topic.

I have always been kinda confident, the first person to go into a scary place, the first person to pick up a phone, the first person to do whatever. This was despite my stutter.

Anyway lately i have lost that... i have my gf ordering the pizzas from pizza hut, the thought of meeting new people is just freaking me out. For the last 2 months i stopped answering the phone... now i force myself to do it but hate doing it soo much. I feel... like i have lost the ability to speak to anyone that i don't know.

Now...
How do i get back to my old "i don't give a shit" attitude to talking?

Ideas?

P.S absinthe is dodgy because it comes from montinegro, it is 60%, blue instead of green and tastes nothing of aniseed. Still good though :D

Sounds like your depressed. I have days like that, the thing I do is go for a good long walk, get the blood flowing and it clears the mind. You don't have any negative thoughts, because stuff is starting to flow again. Hang in there my friend, it works for me.

Perad,

Something must have happened for you to go into the state of mind you are in now. Has anybody made any jokey remarks about your speech or said something that made you start to question your speech.

The only people that I give a shit about are my family and friends and the rest I couldn't care less.
Start off slowly and take one step at a time, order from pizza hut instead of your gf, then after you have done that, say hello to a stranger and see their reaction. As Gene says you sound depressed and you are full of negative thoughts, just give new people a chance and if they arent interested, screw them and move on to the next person, at the end of the day its their loss.
The only people that should matter to you are your family, gf and friends.

Hope this helps.
