>>30570017I was exactly like you for a while. I feel like most of it was due to trauma and isolation I lived through from 18-22. Then I got a job where I had to deal with people every day (started as a stocker at a store, then ended up being cashier, then manager) and it slowly weaned me off my fear of people.
One day I just walked into work and realized "holy shit, everyone else is an idiot and have their own problems too" and from that point on I felt pretty comfortable in my own skin.
I also talked to a few family members about my anxiety problems and traumatic experiences I had in my life that I had kept to myself for years. I think that, along with the job forcing me to communicate with people, cured me.
