Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, my social anxiety got so bad that I'm now afraid to add people on Facebook. FML

Turn off the PC and go find another human to interact with. It may be painful at first but it will get better.

Stop becoming a person you don't want to be. Playing WoW obsessively won't help you in any way. Stop and delete your account maybe take up jogging, biking or something. Your clearly not happy with who you are so Change yourself starting now! :) Thoughts become things.

You're just assuming they play WOW obsessively cause they have social anxiety.

I'm sorry... Someone i used to know had bad social anxiety. It was different for her online or on games and such though, because she didn't actually have to be face to face with the people.

You ever notice its the people that play too many video games and stay locked in their rooms alone all the time with the social disorders...? More kids need to go outside and have normal human interaction, not sit in front of a screen and only have contact with a controller!!
