Social anxiety is an irrational fear of being judged or scrutinized by others. Here’s how to overcome it:

👥 Join a group.

Whether it’s a yoga class or a boxing club, find activities involving regular interactions with the same people. Feeling part of a group fosters a sense of belonging.

🎯 Find meaningful activities.

Engage in activities that make you feel purposeful, such as volunteering or community service. Focus on how your actions can inspire or help others.

🤝 Seek additional connections.

Gradually expand your social circle by deepening relationships with close ones. Be open, ask meaningful questions, and share your struggles.

📖 Document your progress.

Track your achievements, and if sharing is difficult, start with a blog or forum. Gradually transition to online interactions to build confidence.

🚶 Face discomfort head-on.

Identify what makes you uneasy and deliberately put yourself in those situations. Practice helps dispel fear.
