I've noticed my social skills have drastically improved since I started working in hospitality. As long as your line if work isn't in a toxic environment you can become more confident in yourself. ☺️☺️

Life is just Skyrim. You level the skills you use.

Guys, please. Try to do this with ppl u trust and get verbal feedback from them. "Just doing it" can be counter-producent if you don't get understandable feedback.
I am autistic, believe me, I tried and this is the way that works.

Confidence can help a lot with anxiety in general. Working out and getting smarter will help you care less about what the outcome might be and help you dive head first into it.

Only if you happen to be lucky enough to be surrounded by healthy reasonable people. When you're stuck in a toxic environment or culture you actually just get worse. Sucks.

Bravo.. Bravo. I do challenge my client social anxiety by encouraging them to get involved in after-school activities. 😅🎉

Yep... I went about a year without socialization due to remote jobs and school... Transitioning to an in-person role again has been awkward and hard... But I'm getting better.

I seem to have an issue with attracting bullies.

[TakeBackYourMind]

You have to be careful not to sacrifice your authenticity when you do this. Put the most appropriate side of yourself forward for that person, but don't pretend to be someone you're not just to fit in with one person!

ive tried for 5 years to make any friends, just to get bullied by everyone, so i started hating people instead....

[Spartan-Of-Truth]

Stand up for yourself. Nothing more, nothing less. Be respectful. Period.

Having a job that requires you to interact with people (whether customers, or co-workers) will level-up your social skills big time, imo.

I disagree - depends very much who person A is. If theyre immature and not giving you proper feedback, it can highly damage your social skills with other people. Variety is better, dont talk to only A, talk to B & C at least as well. Just one person is gonna give you a warped idea of how to socialize with everyone

Good advice, doctor. However, I must tell all of you a story.

I was quite close with my cousins from my dad's side when we were little, we'd have a lot of fun together and enjoy ourselves. We grew up a bit (Became teenagers) and they moved to a better house, they are quite wealthy and their house is on one of the most expensive spots on the city. I don't know what happened on the way, but we weren't close at all anymore. I would come over to their house and they would pretty much go to their room and ignore me, was pretty difficult to have conversations with them because they weren't really interested in anything that didn't involve themselves or their expensive lifestyle and they preferred to hang out with their cousins who were also wealthy and were in the same circle. I stopped trying and whenever we are invited over (At most twice a year lol) we just don't talk. I honestly tried my hardest to get close to them, but nothing worked. All I'm saying is, it's sometimes not your fault you can't connect with others. I truly wonder what happened.

What if the anxiety you get doesn't have to do with people themselves but with the way your brain interacts with the environment? Do you just give up? Or is there a way?

[jjhassy]

this just in: doing the thing makes us better at doing the thing

[land]

In other words; rebuild your life un a way where there's more people in it... or more people you interact with... The risk then becomes, well... Echo chambers? I dunno... Wouldn't it be the inverse though? Well, depends on the people who are in your life...

[Dragonmoon]

I agree, but I feel there's more to it than that. But, as this is a clip. I assume he expans further.

But, asshollery patterns are deeply entrenched in human nature and I hate to deal with people. Bc of my work I deal with lots of people with regressive patterns and the more I socialize the more I become withdrawn
