And the fact that I tell you that you don't sound a whiner or that you aren't bothering anyone doesn't help, right?
I also have social anxiety. I know it's hard living with this constant fear. It's like feeling like climbing the Everest while others climb up a hill.
Don't be afraid of talking about it here.

alot of my current issues stem from getting recently dumped by my long distance girl friend

Holy shit! I see how hard is for a person who has problems connecting with others, lossing the person you are connected with. Is it over?

Sorry! Hope you can heal this lost soon.
Here, there are also people who struggle with social anxiety. So, I hope you can find a place here and feel better.
I faced my social anxiety through social progressive exposure therapy. It's not that I'm cured or anything similar but I got used to some social situation, at least, the most useful for me.
Are you studying?
