"just dont think about it" not thinking about it makes me think to think about it and then i end up thinking about it

This also can cause the person to develop coping mechanisms just so they "won't be afraid" of socializing at the moment but it's really just another form of avoidance and dissociation, making socializing feel more "empty" than anything actually productive or meaningful

At this point I don't care, but it's just my conscious mind that doesn't care. My body is a whole another matter. I can't stop my body from freaking out

+"they dont even care" advice. i dont know why everyone is saying this because i encountered a lot of people who cared and talked behind people.

I have social anxiety and the amount of times I got "It's literally not that serious, just don't feel afraid" always made me feel more isolated because it just made me feel like the crazy one out of all "normal" people🥀

Every time I go outside I feel so resentful toward the people around me because I’m convinced they think very little of me. Going outside is so hard because of it.
