How would one go to nuke the fuck out of social anxiety?

[DingleBerry]

thought about going to uni? it's would probably be the best time of your life for getting good at social interaction and making friends. I think "nuking" social anxiety is just about gradually putting yourself into more and more social situations you find uncomfortable until your brain realises it aint that bad and chills tf out

Bit too late to get into uni, + I am so mentally drained that I cannot bring myself to go school more than once every two weeks. Only option is getting into a trade and slaving away as some electrician till then I spend my days inside

Yea as in exposure how’d I even get started? Go up to Rands and embarrass myself for some confidence, small talk ?

Ah that's rough man. Are you not going into school cause of your social anxiety or are there other reasons?

Yeah mostly, was extremely nt during primary but quarantine fucked me over and ever since the 7th grade I’ve been a pussy. Worst part of it is that majority of the extreme nt popular dudes in school were close with me during primary just never had the chance to reconnect

You just need exposure man. If you were NT before it's clearly not some autistic thing you were born with. You just need to gradually force yourself into social interaction again even if it's uncomfortable. Maybe look for a friend group with awkward/ND guys and start there. They are probably the most accepting

Do whatever it is you're anxious over. Most anxiety is caused by equating embarassment/humiliation with death, when in reality people judge you for a bit and then move on with their lives. I know a kid that ate shit on camera (he grabbed shit from the toilet and ate it), another that pulled his pants down and took a shit in the middle of class, a girl that got leaked fingering herself at like 11/12 and they're all living decently.

Obnoxious anxiety drills can help but they become largely unnecessary once you internalize nobody really gives a fuck. Don't punch yourself down though, everyone is just as nervous as you are. Just understand what you're running from won't kill you.

This helps a lot, thanks
