How are you going to develop those skills of patience and conversing by avoiding it outside of obligations? Like what kind of medicine do you think you're going to take that will just make it go away and that you'll never have the problem again?
This shit is a process, speaking from experience. It's not going to be comfortable for a while, no matter what meds you're on or what CBT you go through. CBT will just have you practice talking to people. They're going to tell you to touch grass. The meds will manage the physical symptoms of anxiety, but it doesn't make anxiety go away.
I just don't know what you think needs to happen before you're ready to confront this issue. You're never going to be ready. So get that idea out of your head right now. And it'll probably never go away completely. So you either move or just stew in a dark room the rest of your life which will 100% make your condition worse (again, speaking from experience).
The real argument here isn't that you can't use reddit. The real argument is shooting down the idea that you can only socialize online or you'll die. That's the real thing separating you from people.
Also, who cares what we say? You're not actually beholden to our opinion.
I know what Kohls you used to work at. You let it slip once and I live in the same city you do. I just never said anything because I don't want to dox myself. I'm sure you deleted it by now.
If a hexbear can be this close to you in physical proximity by accident, then getting to know people irl has hope. If you think I would bully you for interrupting me or something, you're wrong. But you miss the chance to meet people who share a condition or interests with you by writing it all off as you don't care. It's a numbers game. Yes, most people here are chuds. But eventually you'll find others like you. That's why it takes time and work to make friends. You have to get past all the wrong answers to find the right one.
Being able to find one another and reach others is what makes us stronger socialists. I mean it's called "social"ism for a reason. It's not "alienated by myself because I don't care" ism.
