I broke down in tears at the New Year's party in Japan - social anxiety

At a 2011 Japanese guesthouse New Year’s party, he retreated after 20 minutes alone and cried privately for 10–15 minutes. He returned calmer, spent the rest of the evening playing Tekken/Soulcalibur, and relied on games or his phone to interact. Feeling abandoned by his girlfriend’s attention to friends and other men, he became jealous and later recognized his immaturity.

Social avoidance remains severe; crying relieves anxiety, while gaming offers limited companionship.
