Social anxiety and overall social inhibition has completely ruined my high school experience. I'm 17, never even hugged a girl before, and I have never had a group of friends to hang out with.

Whenever I am in school, I have this huge mental block that keeps me from talking to anyone in a non-awkward way. I am so terrified of doing or saying anything remotely embarrassing that I just don't talk to anyone.

When girls talk to me, I literally completely shut down. My eyes immediately drop to the floor, I stutter my words and I have trouble saying anything other than simple one word responses.

I have the potential to be a great looking guy. I have a decent face and am a good height. Once I can clear up my mild acne and put on a good amount I muscle I should definitely be attractive enough to get laid. However, none of that will matter if I can't get over this social bullshit.
