I know that here I am pretty loud and obnoxious, but IRL I actually have like, really bad social anxiety. Especially when talking to guys. (Actually come to think of it it's usually only happens when I have to talk to guys I find attractive crush )

Sometimes it's fine, but other times it's like my brain does a blue screen of death and I can't even think of words to say.

Is there a way to get my brain working normal in these situations? I already taken anti-anxiety meds and they help a little, but not always.

Any tips to stop my goofy ass brain from crashing?

Have you been medicated for the adhd part yet? I've been really concerned over whether it can help with social settings n it sounds like the huge majority of people find it helpful! I haven't tried adderall or Vyvanse or anything yet but I hope to

Chiming in with my experience, I'm AuDHD and adderall massively helps my social anxiety

I max some Adderall before social events where I have to sit and listen and chime in. Other wise I can barely sit and my brain just zooms around.
