Some might call it shy or perhaps very, very reserved after meeting me for a brief period.
Brief moments of social contact is about all I can manage.
If these folks could see it from inside my head, that shyness is really deep anxiety that I do my best to deal with. Lately, I have found a much better way to go about just that. I’m using medical cannabis to treat my severe social anxiety. I’m definitely on the anxiety and clinical depression spectrum. But I’m genuinely not that depressed or over anxious about life in general. And this may be one of the reasons weed really has made such a difference. The meds I used for social anxiety came to many lame side effects. That just wouldn’t work for me because it just made me feel out of it. And I was worried the same might be true with medical cannabis. Not being social, I really haven’t had that many opportunities to smoke pot. I had done it a few times in an experimental sort of way. So I learned as much as I could about medical marijuana and I visited a medical pot store to get some more information. This convinced me to give it a try. Six months later, I actually had a bit of a dinner at my house with like 4 guests. It was momentous and something I wouldn’t be able to have accomplished without the help I get from weed. And I’m lucky to be able access cannabis near me. It would really suck if I lived in a state that outlawed medical marijuana.
