I'm a 19 year old male who has been suffering tremendously with social anxiety, especially when it comes to talking to girls. Since my first year of college was entirely online I didn't have to think much about my interaction with others my age outside of my job(which for some reason I'm completely fine talking to coworkers). Now that I am in school I am beginning to feel a lot of pressure to smoke weed or drink alcohol just to take away my social inhibitions. I desperately don't want to because of fear of addiction, but I also don't want to continue to hamper my ability to make friends. Any advice is much appreciated, and I would like to know if you guys ever had this dilemma.
