Social Anxiety

i overcome half of it buy not looking at people until i really need to
out of sight, out of mind, is true!!

some sufferers have said this is avoidance but it works a treat for me

Well, technically speaking, I have a trace of it remaining. I've been chipping away at it over the last couple of years. I used to freeze, literally freeze, when I came in contact with certain social situations. It's mainly a matter of putting yourself in "harms way" to get practise in handling these types of situations. I don't think therapy can help unless you enjoy talking about it. You just need to keep practising so that you train to be able to navigate those social anxiety moments.

I only have mild version in the sense that I sweat more, feel tension in the body and get exhausted from certain social interactions. Idk if it actually qualifies as social anxiety but it used to be worse and improved over time by itself.

I have kids so I have no choice but to go out and face it. I'm very anxious a lot of the time because of it though.

I also go to therapy once a week at this time
