Hi, I have a bit of a problem and I would like as many people to give me their opinions as possible.

I am 23, and a virgin. I am also pretty sure I have social phobia. Also, I can't drive and have no license. I don't have a job either. I don't get out much, as you can imagine.

I have some ideas about how to get out of current situation. I would like some feedback on these ideas.

***************
how to get out of my very depressing situation...

First, start learning to drive. This shouldn't be too hard, and it would give me more confidence and more independence. It would give me a big boost of motivation too.

While doing this, I will follow the book "Anxiety and phobia workbook 4thed" for my social phobia. Everything I have read about it online says it is THE book for anxiety disorders.

I will also be improving my health and appearance as much as possible.

Then, I will get a job and use the money to further my self development.

***************

Anyway, you get the idea. I guess the reason I am asking this is because I feel overwhelmed by all of the things I think I need to do.

I honestly have no idea why I am posting this. I guess I need someone to reassure me that I am on the right path.
