Forum: Helping each other

I have had Social anxiety for as long as i can remember and it has gotten worse, I have stopped talking to a significant amount of people and lost some of my real life friends due to this. Do any of you kind folks have any advice on how not to be afraid to talk to people again? :-)

Like the other poster said, but also: just like anything, it takes practice, practice, practice.

i used to deal with a lot of social anxiety and all that. my best advice would just be to force urself, and just try to stay calm in pretty much any situation. 


dont go overboard or you'll sound incredibly dead like i do, but just try to keep ur cool and force urself to talk to ppl
