Social Anxiety

Lately I've been reading a little bit about social anxiety, and if you have it, one of the best tips to get is to get out and be around other people. Just do a little bit at a time, and if you start to feel overwhelmed, then back off a little bit. But over time, the idea is to slowly build up until you're good being around people and you're comfortable.

Tips that I found to be helpful in social anxiety is praying and meditating. Meditation before I know I'm going to be meeting up with a random group of people and socializing. Another thing I found to be helpful if you just don't know you're going to meet up with family is just start. Start out with starter questions.

Something I think that can be helpful if you have social anxiety, especially in like big situations where you're talking or meeting a lot of people, is to have like, or to practice before, like maybe kind of role play some of those conversations and also like have questions in advance prepared so that when you actually go in it's not as scary as you thought it would be.
