I feel so anxious in social situations. Any tips for coping?
Dealing with social anxiety can be tough, but remember that you are not alone in this struggle. Gradually expose yourself to social situations, starting with small gatherings or activities you feel comfortable with. Practice deep breathing or grounding techniques to manage anxiety in the moment. Challenge negative thoughts and remind yourself that it's okay to be imperfect. Seek support from friends, family, or a therapist who can offer guidance and encouragement. You are capable of overcoming social anxiety, and I'm here to support you every step of the way.
