Hi, I'm an 18 male, USA. I suffer from what I believe is AvPD. I have 0 friends. There is many things about myself that I need to improve, one of my main problems is covered on this topic(which I got from the newsletter.) Too Socially Frustrated to Focus On Anything? shyunited.proboards15.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1095299796 I hope to make serious self-improvements in the coming months and posting them on this thread to have a record of them. I have tried to write them and save them on a file on my computer but I usually end up deleting it for one reason or another. It's time I got serious about this, I have lived in this self-imposed isolation too long. I am going to try to do good in school; improve my fitness, though I already workout regularly; and stop wasting time musing on negative thoughts; also stop wasting time on activities like listening to music for hours on end, which I am really in no position to be doing. There is so many other things with which that time could be better spent on.

Hey SilentSerchers Welcome to the forum. Good to hear that you are going to take an active role in bettering yourself. Part of the problem for me sometimes is wanting to better myself, but not knowing where to start. Doing well in school, and keeping fit is as good a place as any to start, as hopefully this will snowball into other aspects of your life. I'm hearing you regarding the topic you've posted a link for. Must've missed that first time around, but judging by the number of replies, I think you know you're not alone in feeling like this. There's another topic somewhere on this board regarding constantly thinking about things and not being able to switch off, which kinda relates to feeling too frustrated to focus on anything. I'm always thinking of ways I could do better in my life, and how doing other things (video games, listening to music) doesn't help the situation. I should be out there experiencing life instead of worrying how I've wasted the life I've led up to now. I too think I listen to music way too much. It is a great way to relax, or vent pent up feelings or release emotions that otherwise stay locked up. I find playing my guitar very theraputic. But sometimes it gets to the point where I could pine my life away with my headphones on, instead of getting my ass in gear and doing something a bit more constructive. Anyway, my rambling has come to an end. None of that was probably of any use, but just so you know you are not alone in feeling this way, and posting on the forum is quite a cathartic experience at times (I'm gonna stop typing before I say something even more anal!
