>>1048024I used to have some pretty gnarly social anxiety. slowly I realized that no one gives a shit. it's called sonder. everyone's lives are just as complex as yours and most people don't have time to stand around judging you. and the ones that do, fuck em.
their thoughts don't need to affect you at all. in fact if they are making fun of you or whatever, that means they're jealous in some way. or their lives are so boring that they feel the need to do crap like that. the point is, you are a complete person no matter what is going on around you.
also yoga, meditation, eating right, counciling, etc. definitely practicing casual greetings, even if you're looking down when you say them. I'm still kind of shy, but these things, especially sonder, have helped a lot.
