Does weed effect your social skills after a while of smoking?
okay soo im 18 and for the last 3 years ive been smoking weed everyday and ive noticed my personality changed i use to have a big spirt and use to be realy talkative and outgoing before i started smoking now ive noticed i dont talk ass much and lack spirt, i use to make friends with random ppl from school and now i get shy easily and dont talk ass much, and i cant go 2 days without smoking or i get anger problems..
I cannot communicate properly, and have no social skills.?
I hate it when people walk up to me, seeing that i'm twitching nervous and quiet and ask " hi, whats your name? Are you shy? Are you in college?" and go on and on and on. I really tremble in crowds, and I hyperventillate when confronted. How should I deal with social situations im uncomfortable in? Act mean and tell people to " get lost " or what? Being mean and standoffish is what I do now, and it seems to keep people away from me, which is a good thing. I cant see a therapist until the 27th and since age 11 ive never been cured of this. Ive been through sooo many doctors. I've been prescribed for meds for mania, anxiety, depression... Im 19 now and want a job and to attend university to become a veterinarian. Things dont look so hopeful PS I know the title isnt a question, but I want advice on how to cope with people other than meaness. People tend to think im stuck up... I also asked this in 2 sections for better answers. Tyvm mental health
How can I improve my life? Is there someone I can see about improving my social skills with other teens.?
Firstly, do not answer if you are saying in relation to " see a psychiatrist or you are not alone" .I have had depression for the last 3 years and had aspergers and dyspraxia for life. I feel really bad when I look at other people who have 500 friends on facebook and I only have 80. I want to find someone that can teach me how to be around other teens.Thank you.

I need to improve my social skills and outlook on life. Can anyone help me?
I'm going to be talking about a lot of my personality flaws that may make you think I'm a terrible person, but I'm saying this in the hopes that I can find solutions to my problems and to work on those flaws. So if you feel the need to attack me after reading this, please move on. I really don't need those kind of responses right now.To start off, I can't really say I've ever had an engaging social life, and since I left high school in 2009, the small amount of social activity I had all but disappeared. I find it extremely difficult to partake in casual conversation, not just because I get nervous and act a little awkward, but because I bore very quickly. I have a very particular sense of humor and set of interests that have really made it hard for me to relate to a lot of people. For starters, I enjoy being creative in all fields of media, such as writing music and lyrics, filming, photography, voice acting, sculpting, graphic and sound design, and animating. I live in the middle of Oklahoma, so you can imagine how hard it is for me to find others who share the same interests. And although I do have a few people who try to be friendly towards me, I find it extremely difficult to share that same kindness, as I find those people somewhat annoying.The way the world views me is always something that bothers me. I'm really self aware, and I live in a town full of people that genuinely hate me due to ethnic issues that I don't want to discuss . I've tried to learn to brush it off, but it seems to have influenced the way I present myself to others, which is really defensive and cautious. I try to maintain a positive outlook, I really do, but it's as if I receive negative reactions from everyone around me on a daily basis. It's affected me for a long time, even prevented me from getting a few jobs. I have a very dysfunctional family, and I don't have one person that I can confide in that has my trust and even I did, I'm sure I'd drive them away somehow . That has also affected my romantic relationships, I've been single since I graduated, and I've tried to start friendships with a few women, but I always end up at square one, bored and uninterested. There was a time when I was somewhat thin and attractive, and I did go on a few dates, but everything I've went through regarding financial struggles, doing without, and being left behind by people I considered friends has left me in a constant state of depression, and it seems more and more illogical to tell myself everything will get better with time.The only reason I'm writing this now is because today, I slept for 18 hours, not out of exhaustion, but because every time I woke up, I stopped to think if I had a reason to get out of bed, and on all five occasions, I couldn't think of one reason. It needs to stop. I know I can be better than this and I want to do better for myself. But I keep feeling that if I were to come close to death tomorrow, it wouldn't fight it. So if anyone has any advice, please, now is the time to tell me what I can do to change this.
How do i develop social skills?
i am an adult 27 years old...and have absolutely no social skills. i am sure i seem cold and distant because of this, and quite boring as well. but i literally do not know how to make friends...or date girls even...no matter how hard i try. and that is what no one. everyone is in a hurry to tell me how i need to try. but what they do not realize is that my whole life is nothign but trying...with very little progress made.i feel like my life is a waste and i have nothing to look forward to because i dont know how to form relationships. the seat next to me is always empty.......always.just to give you a better idea..i still feel uncomfortable around people i have worked with for FIVE years now...and even around my family at times..whom i have known my whole life
What is the disorder where addiction to technology causes a loss of social skills in the real world?
I remember reading about this a long time ago, but I unfortunately forget the name. I'm not sure if it would be more accurate to describe it as a social phenomenon or disorder, but essentially it revolves around people growing more and more isolated from the real world as they become more and more immersed in technology, such as online games, social networking sites, etc. It seems like simply referring to it as " technology addiction" wouldn't accurately describe it. Is there any other term?
What are activities that I can do with my aspergers "little sister" to help her social skills?
I am a volunteer with Big Brother Big Sister. My " little" is 12 years old and I very strongly suspect she has Aspergers. I have spoken with her mother, who agrees, but I do not believe anything has been done towards diagnosis or getting her support and there's not much I can do that.She is bright but pretty socially immature and gets picked on at school. We spend about 2 hours together per week doing cheap free activities. What I am looking for are ideas of things we can do that will help her pick up some social skills. Something with role playing? Anyone with Aspergers have advice?thanks

Social Skills - autistic?
I've been diagnosed by a doctor well you know ... as having the " social skills of a button mushroom and don't have a clue" along with " you are autistic" .Unfortunately the doctor is ignoring any contact at all even by phone I do suspect I am on some kind of no call list . Is there anything I can do to make this doctor acknowledge my existence and actually force him to make a medical diagnosis for my insurance?I'm particularly worried he might be just a quack and my insurance won't cover himWell he claims to be an osteopath but I think he might just be looking for professional recognition when he has none" Wow another osteopath who has a similar opinion of you as me then?" It WAS you who made the medical diagnosis as you well know" Wow, the $hi did hit the fan. Were you as arrogant to him as you are to some people in here?" lol probably" Slightly different to my opinion. I asked if you were autistic & thought that if you were" Oooo fibber I quoted you exactly
