----- --- 2431347 Post your mental illness and you solutions. I have such a big fucking social anxiety that I am afraid of uknown. I remember when I was in japan I went to eat to mcdonalds every night. I was so afraid to eat in great restaurants because everything was in japanese. --- 2431392 >>2431347 (OP) Schizophrenia pays for my travel --- 2431398 >>2431347 (OP) If you're in a third world country then eating at goyslop chains is a legitimate way of avoiding food poisoning. Especially important before flights. --- 2432552 >>2431347 (OP) get help --- 2433954 >>2431347 (OP) could you live/travel in a second world country just with american neetbux? (around 1200$ per month) --- 2434053 >>2431347 (OP) keep travelling I would say to your situation specifically. social anxiety gets better the more social situations you find yourself in. --- 2434419 >>2431347 (OP) That's not mental illness, you're just cautious and/or a wimp. I can relate though, I ate at Mcdonald's all the time in Japan, and also the Japanese fast food chains. There is real value in just straightforwardly ordering, easily finding a place to sit, and not having to comb over the menu with a translate app figuring out what everything is while you're traveling and your time is precious and you probably just want to fucking sit down and rest anyway. Plus every highly rated was restaurant had a long line and, ironically, was full of tourists. McDonalds and the chains I mentioned were always 90%+ Japanese people. Better places for actually feeling like you're in Japan most of the time. --- 2434442 >>2434419 I'd probably do this too. I'm not really a big 'foodie' so a bunch of boiled squid in a hot bowl doesn't sound too great. I'll take the number 7 goyslop combo with extra goy sauce PREASEE. Just let me get my empty calorie, brainfog inducing garbage down my gullet so I can go stare at the local girls, not talk to them and fantasize about our lives together --- 2434460 >>2431347 (OP) What I do if I do not know the local language is point at menu items, sometimes with a smile if it's a qt taking my order --- 2434465 This is the most relevant thread on /trv/ You motherfuckers got problems. --- 2434680 >>2431347 (OP) Maybe you need an SSRI. It takes the edge off --- 2434844 >>2431347 (OP) I enjoy travelling with a plane more than actually being in the destination --- 2434862 >be me, autistic and anxious >never left mommys basement >never travelled more than 2 hours outside of my city (that i've lived in all my life) >enough is enough >gonna big dick it and book a flight halfway across the world and never come back the meltdown and consequent IBS is gonna be fun but i think it's the right thing to do --- 2436716 I get mild depression and I might be schizoid, I buy a bottle of Wellbutrin when I'm in places with unrestricted pharmacies and take one every few weeks if I start becoming too much of a shut-in neet --- 2436822 >>2434862 im in the same boat. booked my Japan flight as my graduation from NEETdom. i also have ibs and anxiety but fuck it. trips coming up in a month now and i know i just need to go --- 2437247 >>2434419 >go to a country with the best cuisine in the world >eat goyslop --- 2437270 >>2434862 I did that. I got around fine too. But nothing changed, I'm still retarded and anxious. Expensive and lonely, saw cool things at least. --- 2437273 >>2431347 (OP) McDonald’s is the best restaurant in the World. --- 2437274 >>2436822 Nice, I wanna move to Japan for good but I'm a brokeboi rn so I'm thinking of going to Bangkok for a bit first in and living off my savings so I can try and get income coming in somehow >>2437270 Yeah I'm worried that I won't change either lol --- 2437487 >>2437274 i think just getting out and leaving your comfort zone will do wonders. Japan can come after that. I believe in you bro --- 2439663 >>2431347 (OP) no cure for bipolar
