Nah, when it comes to social shit like that, you just have not give a fuck what people think about you anymore, because honestly, they probably fucking aren't. You'd have to be pretty egotistical to think so, and if you were, you'd probably be one of those douche bags that bothers girls who don't want to talk to them.
Me too, I woke up with 2 or 3 phone numbers in my pocket. I texted one of them and was greeted by an angry boyfriend, I either didn't text the others or they didn't reply, but it boosted my confidence a lot. So much so that I was able to talk to girls before I blacked out
It's pretty common to tell depressed or struggling people that things get better/easier, as if it happens passively and they just need to stick around, just hold out.
Yeah I am coming to the same realisation. If anything it gets worse, since as an adult you are naturally going to be more isolated when you aren't forced to socialize.
