Social anxiety

@23helicopters

Regarding your thread question:

• Hi. I have social anxiety since I can remember myself
  and I am so tired of it.
  It's holding be back from living a good life.
  I really want to change and get rid of it
  but right now I don't have the option to see a therapist.
  
  Do you have any ideas of what can I do to improve my situation a little?
  I'm really tired of being this way and I want to take some actions now
  

Talking with peers in safe situations can help over time.

For example, one can try online social events, like on zoom:

• They can be lower stress because
  one can be off-camera
  yet still talk if one wants to.
  
  
• Some online groups specialize in social anxiety support.
  
  So by attending those types of online group meetings,
  one can discuss the issues
  with peers in a low-pressure situation.
  
  That can help some people over time.
