How do yall deal with social anxiety. I feel trapped in my own head and my charisma and skills are overshadowed by the amount of doubt I have about myself

For me it was a mix of therapy and healthy nihilism. Not like “nothing matters so why try” but “hey nothing matters THAT much, even if i do mess up as long as no one gets hurt its fairly unimportant and most people wont care nor remember (and if they do then theyre weird)”

Takes years of exposure therapy but it DOES get easier the more you do it. Its to the point where my friends think im “the brave one” and have me ask things for them when theyre nervous (which is nuts considering i used to be afraid of even being seen in public)

And as long as youre kind, respectful, and follow basic social etiquette youll do fairly well , even if youre shaky and nervous. People get it, i promise
