Who/what do you want to be?
Take steps towards becoming that. It won't happen overnight, but unless you ACTION what it is you want, then nothing will happen.
COURAGE... is what happens when you are afraid and decide to step it up, do what scares you. Courage is not doing things you are not scared of. So, take something you feel scared/weak at.. like talking to people and just do it. Start practising on strangers if it makes you more comfortable. Start up conversations on the bus/train/waiting in line in the shops for a few quick quips.
I should be more successful than I am... but that's down to me. I chose to be a lazy ass. I am now ACTIVELY taking steps to sort myself out with bad organisation/responsibilities. I have to remind myself of this.. eventually it will become routine. Everyone struggles with 'something', whether they want to admit it or not (or even realise it themselves)

How about laying off the booze for good and living life sober or at least cutting down?Your drinking seems problematic,even though I only 'know' you from this single post...

lol most of the threads I read tonight has some sort of drunkenness in it. It's only nearly half past 7 and the threads are wild.
PS there was something on TED Talks about believing in yourself.

I don't think that picture is suitable for the forums? :/
Going through a rough patch or always have been the case?
If it's the latter why not check up with your GP, perhaps you have clinical depression or you may be autistic.
Edit: If it's the social part that bothers you (ie being a loner), not being able to talk to people come with years of solitude, I went through that and completely forgot how to communicate with people, how to behave, was a blank page pretty much, due to work I was re-integrated with society and slowly got back to "being able" to hold a conversation. So...practice, we're social beings, put us in social situations and you will adapt.

Attention seeking at its worst.
You've got a point. People who are suicidal don't generally moan about being suicidal. They just go silent and eventually disappear. They do a Mark Speight.

Hey the guy is drunk.
Stop self loathing, stop drinking for a start even when u sober up your anxiety will still be there. Then ironically you will drink again to ward off the anxiety, viscous circle. Alcohol does effect your mental state even after you initially stop. Then I suggest you disconnect your internet switch off your computer and go outside, anywhere. Go for a walk realize that its not all so bad when you look at the grand scheme of things, then look at what interests you, even if its something everyone else thinks is lame boring(everyone has some interest). Then just focus your time and energy on that! Also stop worrying about yourself, to be honest most people over exaggerate how much they think people take notice of their actions especially failures. So get over it and get out there.
