Disagree - I suffered crippling social anxiety and paranoia as a teenager. I was a lonely and isolated child. First time I tried MDMA in a social setting was like stepping into another body where strangers weren't all laughing at me/talking about me behind my back. I was able to effortlessly start conversations with random people and was surprised at the positive response.

That one night was a huge, huge catalyst in overcoming my social anxiety and I can't overstate how long-lasting, life changing and valuable the experience was for me.

MDMA is an extremely powerful substance and I'm excited to see it being taken seriously for therapy.
