Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?
This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
Man, I sympathize with your struggle, I also used to have difficulties with women, but this really isn't healthy. Some nature living vacation with hard physical labor and no internet access might help you get a clear head and make you less neurotic, but risking your life is just plain stupid. I'd certainly consider it entertaining, though.
I'll post a longer reply later: but the unhealthiness is a feature, not a bug. The point is to endure great suffering for no good reason and, if you survive, know for the rest of your life that you are a conscientious and determined individual. Lazy, weak willed chumps do not survive the Hock.
Huh.
Sooo, are you willing to entertain the idea that seeing unhealthiness "as a feature" is not what you should be doing? You are literally living the meme of "men would rather [blank] than go to therapy." In this case, I guess the blank is "die."
But the "therapy" also doesn't have to be therapy. I like what /u/hydroacetylene said, which is just go take some dancing classes and ask women to dance. I get the distinct sense doing that would be harder for you anyway. Training alone to climb a mountain (???) is probably the easier option for you, an introvert.

I second this. Touching grass while completely disconnected from tech (ideally with social interaction) is a great way to deal with neuroticism.
