I feel so much more anxious than ever for no reason. I decided to tackle it by getting outside and going into a social setting. So far today, I talked with someone in regards to a puddle that nearly caused me to slip and I clammed up hard. I'm writing this as I sit in a corner of a Starbucks, endlessly contemplating how I messed up and what I can improve upon for future encounters with people in general.
My techniques of how I ended up being socially active from a socially awkward person. Quit PMO . Quit social media. Fb insta Limit screen time. Go outside very much. Sit in public places without any reason. Do these things and dont stress too much. You will get social slowly
Social anxiety disappeared completely for me after months of no PMO. I think there's probably a hormonal mechanism at work but the correlation was pretty clear for me. I spent years worrying about how I was processing things irrationally, but actually it wasn't something I could think my way out of, I needed a lifestyle change for it to happen.
