Aren't there drugs for social anxiety?

IvyBoy

I remember seeing commercials for some a long time ago, isn't that theoretically like viagra for the mind? If it eliminates your anxiety in meeting new people, won't you appear more confident and be able to harness your inner game?

LEt Me just say i am in no way a great or even decent pua for that matter. THat being said i one took a few high Mg xanax and was out and about school hollering at every chick i saw. I got a few numbers and IoI's so it was awesome.Even my friends were telling me i was Hot shit all day. Ok downside....do you really want to have to be loaded all the time because next day my game was back to zero and the girls will find that prince charming has vanquished. Try overcoming anxiety on your own and remember you are the man.

Your thinking of Zoloft (Sertraline), used to treat anxiety and depression.

The irony is however, that while some of your anxiety maybe reduced, there is a high percentage of sexual side effects (ED). So while you might be able to approach and chat a girl up, you won't be able to do anything about it.

Just like guys who use steroids. Sure, you might get big and buff and get a couple girls. But eventually your balls shrink and you grow tits from the estrogen thats generated when your testosterone burns out.

IF YOU WANT TO USE A DRUG TO GET AWAY FROM THE SHYNESS YOU SHOULD USE IT YOUR HOLE LIFE

What are you going to do when the drug is over and you still like the girl....run away?

Try Redbul or Red Rain, any energy drink, a little vodka ( the drug part )

This will boost your energy levels, and the vodka will calm your nerves.

DO NOT OVER DRINK! I read about 3 drinks just to relax is ok, but don't really go over that, you will just end up out of your game and in your own bed alone.

Another friend of mine says 'St Johns Wort' is a good anti depressent(sp) and this may help build a little confidence.

I am not a doctor.

eh... its 1-3 beers depending on your party rate and its not the way to beat this game, if you consider relying on drugs fuck off an die youre wasting air. my 5 cents: everything that gives you chances better than 0% is better than anything that gives you chances of 0%, try some crazy stuff ideally where you wont be recognized, laught at it in embarassment later, desensitize yourself, the chemos in your brain start changing theirselfs over time. and please dont use chemos, its doomed to fail with a scary health risk, taking drugs to get brave is taking drugs because you are scared which means you are scared AND acting motivated by fear and its just a bad habit of living out a weakness(or call it DLV)

alcohol gives me the courage of a cougar yet when i'm drunk i can play my game as good as any AFC. i prefer to go at it sober where my game is on. if you have trouble approaching girls, approach the guy in the group and then work from there

There is more to peacocking than just gathering attention. It gives you a chance to be someone else. If you dress very casual most of the time, dress up when you go out. Be a new you and feel what its like to act in a different way.

Halloween is coming up so this could be relevant. The anonymity of a costume brings out the wild side in many people. Peacocking is just like wearing a costume. If you go out a few times as a different person, you can eventually be that person without the costume. Sasha Baron Cohen is a good example of this. He is both Ali G and Borat. Two very different people that are also different from the person that plays them.

So don't do drugs, wear a funky necklace and a frilly shirt. Pretend you are a rockstar. Be open to a new personality, because its in you but you aren't using it yet.

i'm going to have to disagree with some of the things i've heard. First off, drugs won't really help you in the long run. Peacocking is a terrible idea if you're having beginner's anxiety. Peacocking makes it so you're a center of attention which might become overwhelming.
My advice to you is to talk to whoever you feel comfortable with before you start approaching girls. I would say talk to some fat chicks and guys until you're feeling more sociable.
But to answer your question the only thing that will possibly help you interact on a short term basis are like booze and cocaine if you want to travel down that long and treacherous path. I would suggest no drugs and work on feeling less anxious socially by practicing being more sociable. It's the healthiest way to overcome your anxiety.

This question may help both you and I.

Is it just me..or does everyone need to be around people and socializing to actually get your brain moving in the morning? I can have a hell of a night, but when i wake up i'm usually rusty when it comes to conversation until later on in the day. Do most of you guys purposely warm up on UG/guys before you switch to "sarging"? Maybe this will alleviate some anxiety? Just a thought.
