Obsession about friendship with opposite gender and sex

Greetings,

I am a 23-years old senior university student(guy) who do have a very few friends with whom he cannot relate much. I am living a life of solitude in an apartment flat far from the university campus. I was a shy and introverted child when I was young and it still has effects on my life. Up to this date I have never had a girlfriend or an opposite sex friend. Now I am really obsessed about friendships with girls and want to invite a girl over to my home. Furthermore, for two years I have been bringing this topic to my family especially my mum and we cannot reach a conclusion on it as the POV differs from her perspective. I have only had sex once in my lifetime with a prostitute and very eager to have it again but as far as I am concerned I am very inexperienced and do not attract girls. In addition to these I think I am obsessed extensively with internet pornography. I have visited psychologists and psychiatrists many times and they prescribed many drugs which interfered with my education and I had to cut back on them. Now I am on Laroxyl for IBS treatment but my obsession prevails. Do you have any suggestions?

I don't doubt you are obsessing over the things, but I'm not sure how much is coming from anxiety/OCD as it is defined. I would like to mirror this to another forum, but I am not sure which. PM to come.

**update** I am going to mirror this to the self esteem forum
