Social anxiety is…. kinda… not an illness per say, but a serious ball and chain when you have goals to reach.

You have to figure out if your anxiousness is an anxiety disorder, or a case of an introvert not stretching their wings.
Also, take a look at Asperger syndrome

It is very possible that you are perfectly "fine" but have been by yourself so much that you have not developed the needed skills. Due to your lack of skills, you stay by yourself.. and your skills continue to wither.

What you might benefit from is instruction on conversation.
Yes- it is perfectly possible for you to talk about absolutely NOTHING for hours on end.

It may seem impossible, but some folks have it down to an art.

There are a ton of tricks you can use to eat up time while saying absolutely nothing of consequence.

Now- do this enough, and you will become bored out of your skull.
People will prattle on about the inane crap you could EVERY think of.

I was trapped in a 45 minute conversation about manicures and designer handbags. I was ready to submit to a lobotomy with a spoon, just to have it end. Learning to talk about nothing may not bring you happiness- but it will give philosophy a rest.

Last time I had a "reality is perception" conversation with someone, they got down right MEAN and angry.

The album received highly positive reviews and was ranked at number eight on Rolling Stone’ list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2003.London Calling was a top ten album in the UK, and its lead single “London Calling” was a top twenty single.It has sold over two million copies worldwide,and was certified platinum in the United States.

After recording their 1978 album Give ‘Em Enough Rope in the United States, the band separated from their manager Bernard Rhodes.This separation meant that the band had to leave their rehearsal studio in Camden Town and find another location to compose their music. Drawing inspiration from rockabilly, ska, reggae and jazz,the band began work on the album during the summer of 1979. Tour manager Johnny Green had found the band a new place to rehearse called Vanilla Studios in Pimlico, which was located in the back of a garage.The band quickly wrote and recorded demos, with Jones composing and arranging much of the music and Strummer supplying the lyrics.

In August 1979, the band entered Wessex Studios to begin recording London Calling. The Clash asked Guy Stevens to produce the album, much to the dismay of CBS Records.Stevens had alcohol and drug problems and his production methods were unconventional.While recording he would often swing ladders and throw chairs around the band to create an emotional atmosphere.The entire album was recorded within a matter of weeks, with many songs recorded in one or two takes.

The album’s cover features a photograph of Simonon smashing his Fender Precision Bass against the stage at The Palladium in New York City on 21 September 1979 during the “Clash Take the Fifth” US tour.Pennie Smith, who photographed the band for the album, originally did not want the photograph to be used. She thought that it was too out of focus, but Strummer and graphic designer Ray Lowry thought it would make a good album cover.In 2002, Smith’s photograph was named the best rock and roll photograph of all time by Q magazine, commenting that “it captures the ultimate rock’n'roll moment – total loss of control”.

The cover artwork was designed by Lowry and was a homage to the design of Elvis Presley’s debut album.The cover was named the ninth best album cover of all time by Q magazine in 2001.

The Plight of the Pedophile

By Punkerslut

The condition of the Pedophile today is the same as the
condition of the blasphemer 200, 300, 400, or 500 years ago. He
is outcast from society, branded with the marks of infamy,
detested from every social class and every nobility. To the
children, they say he is heartless. To the adults, they say he
is merciless. And to the old, they say that he is brutal. In
every crevice of the world, there is no sympathy for lovers of
our youth. It is widely broadcasted throughout every television
and radio program that Pedophilia is equatable with rape — that
if one below the magical age of 18 were to have sex with some at
or over the age of 18, it must be a forced act, that it is the
deplorable thing we call rape. It is impossible for them to
believe that someone under 18 — even though with the very tools
for sex readily available — could possibly consent to sex. To
those who are not bondaged to this uncivilized belief that youth
lovers are rapists, it is quite easy to understand that court
cases prosecuting for Pedophilia are simply prosecuting an
individual for sharing affection physically.

To outlaw sexual activity between adults and children is
perhaps one of the most irrational actions of any legislative
branch. In this writ, it believes it is both capable and needed
in governing the personal relationships of the people. It finds
itself to be intervening a sort of injustice. But what sort of
injustice has there been? When two individuals consent to do
something together, when they harm no others, how can this be
called an act of injustice? There will be pleas made by iniquity
to justify their Xenophobia, their absolute fear of breaking
custom’s laws. They will say that children are incapable of
making a choice for sexual activity — that, by some writ of
human DNA, until their 18th birthday, every question concerning
sexuality is blurred into some unrecognizable form. However,
this supposed fact is highly emphasized on smaller child who may
be 12 or younger. They will claim that such children are
incapable of consenting to sexual activities at all. However,
such naive thinking is rather typical of those who adhere to the
dogmas of their time. Anyone who has any sort of familiarity
with children understands that children are fully capable of
consenting to certain activities. They may choose to act they
wish, selectively playing with certain toys, or choosing one
food over the other. Once sex has been explained to them, there
can be no doubt that they would be able to consent to it with
knowledge in mind. However, it has even been the work of the
Conservatives to disallow knowledge of sex, to claim that sex
questions themselves are inherently sinful! These advocates of
making information illegal are only oppressing freedom of
thought, and thus curtailing every freedom that we have!

The authorities will make every possible public mark about his
actions, save for the Scarlett Letter, and when the sex criminal
has been harassed, beaten, and abused by the so-called
good-hearted community, once this is done, the authorities will
look the Pedophile and say, “That man is cruel and heartless,
deserving of no affection, deprived of all beauty.” Think of
that! They will throw on to him the burden of guilt while they
themselves endeavor only to cause suffering. Megan’s Law, for
example, requires a Pedophile convict to give notice of his
name, address, and crime to all people who live within a three
block radius, using the methods deemed appropriate by probation
officer, including, “signs, handbills, bumper stickers, clothing
labels, and door-to-door oral communication.” This is no longer
a case of sexual exploitation. It’s a case of incredible masses
of uneducated, unintelligent people making oppressive laws. When
things have come this far, it is no longer a battle between the
youth lovers and the Authoritarians, but a battle between the
Humanitarians and the tyrants, a battle between compassion and
depravity. These laws are not only opposed by the lovers of
youth, but the lovers of affection. To what sentiment of
humaneness can one appeal to when proposing such a law? There
can be none. And so this law, Megan’s Law, is just a barbaric
sentiment that arose from the ancient scaffolds, the
dismembering of hands of thieves, the imprisonment of those in
debt — it is simply barbaric and cruel. Opposed not only by our
brotherly Pedophiles, but also by anyone who has any sort of
emotion of kinship with their fellow human beings.

Like the blasphemer, though, the Pedophile is civilized and
produces good things for our world. The infidels and heretics
questioned what was popularly believed, relieving from the minds
of men that they need to fear an afterlife. And so today, youth
lovers work to give the minds of men and children the peace of
knowledge that pleasure is not to be abhorred, that happiness
and joy are intrinsically valuable and good things. Those who
oppose Pedophilia are only attempting to relinquish one taboo
from the minds of our society. Instead, they work to cause
suffering and to degrade those who hold that adults and children
may have sexual relations between each other. Yet those who
defend Pedophilia will continue to assert that forced sexual
acts are an abomination, a cruelty which cannot be replaced.
Pedophilia is not at all about forced or coerced sexual
activity. Pedophilia is about freedom and the liberty to govern
one’s own body without harming others.

Still, though, the assertion will ring throughout the halls of
injustice that Pedophilia is rape under any condition. They will
claim that, judging by the years a person has existed on this
planet, that this scale is perfect for determining exactly when
they are ready to use their own bodies for their own will. I can
say this of rape — forced sexual acts are horrible, whether
between two individuals of the same age or of a different age. I
could never excuse such a brutality on the grounds of any
philosophical assertion. Some may say that Pedophilia should be
outlawed entirely because of the few incidents of rape, but then
it should follow that all sex should be outlawed because of
those few incidents. And the legislators fail to understand that
rape occurs, regardless of what the laws say. Outlawing
Pedophilia only deprives human beings of the right to govern
their own bodies without harming anyone around them. I must
oppose age-consent laws as I oppose any form of tyranny which
works on the assumption that liberty is unnecessary.

And so, to oppose Pedophilia is to oppose justice and liberty.
To say that a child or an adult has no right to govern their own
body, even if they cause no suffering in their actions, to say
this is the worst form of brutality. It makes it illegal to show
affection physically, it makes it a crime to express compassion,
it villifies those who desire to give the kiss of warmth to the
youth of our world. To the man who has offered his body and his
affections to children, the authorities will call him a rapist,
they will throw him in jail, and upon release, they will force
him to inform those around him of his activities, relegating him
to abuse and harassment. This can be defined aptly as the rogue
state — a government which holds that sex and love are illegal.
Just as it was illegal for the races to engage in sex with each
other, today it is illegal for the ages to engage in sex with
each other. This is but the worst of crimes — to call sex and
love a crime. It may be true that the love between a man and a
child will forever remain a mystery in the hearts of people. It
may be true that physical affection and warmth will forever be
lost in the abyss of ignorance. It may be true that justice will
fall victim to merciless brutality, that affection and kindness
have no place in society, that considering everything of value,
liberty cannot be found — but it is the heart of the
Humanitarians and the lovers of youth and compassion to oppose
these possibilities with every ounce of strength that can be
mustered.
