I've thought of doing harm to myself, including ending my life, many many times too, from the lack of physical and emotional contact...But never in a million years would I consider for as much a nanosecond, of harming anyone else, even though I've had times of being very bitter at seeing macho assholes "getting all the girls".And yes, also bitter at the women and girls who've obviously preferred the macho assholes. I've felt such intense social anxiety that I've started hyperventilating at a party, or other social situations, and had to leave as soon as possible, and sometimes would take an hour or more to be able to stop and have even had chest pains from it on a few occasions. Worse, I'm a performer and obviously sometimes I can't leave when the discomfort is overwhelming. I had a band fire me once , reluctantly, because I was getting so weird onstage from watching everyone in the club or bar having the ability to be normal and mingle and have a good time while I was up there utterly miserable and couldn't hide it anymore. They had, and to this day have, absolutely no idea why I was acting that way, and usually I can hide it, and most people who've seen me perform would never guess I suffer from this, as most of the time I'm a pretty dynamic performer. And I've had a lot of short -term girlfriends (and the occasional one night stand when I was younger). To this day I'm not sure how I managed to have had that happen, as my self-image is that of a complete loser. I sincerely hope your case is not anywhere near as extreme as mine.
