Thank you for sharing with us. I appreciate your honesty.
Honestly, I've also had similar thoughts cross my mind but I try to not let them linger too long if I can help it. Sometimes what helps me is trying to do something that makes me happy like reading or writing. There are days when not even that works but listening to music never seems to fail even if it's just for 2-4 minutes.
I hope some of your favorite music is able to help a bit whenever those tough days arrive :)

It's normal to feel social anxiety. You are not alone. It was brave of you to reach out here to talk about it. I'm glad to hear you've found a coping skill that works for you in daydreaming.
If you are interested in resources, 7 Cups has a wonderful guide on the topic. It includes some exercises that have helped others manage their social anxiety, including this exercise to challenge one's inaccurate thinking.
I'd be happy to chat with you privately if you'd like. Text me anytime. ❤️🤗
