Support systems
Joining a local or online support group for social anxiety may be a good idea. Because they are dealing with the same disease, you can connect with people here who can relate to what you’re going through.
At a support group, you can talk about your experiences, pick up coping mechanisms from other people, and even even role-play.
Another great way to practice communicating with people in social situations is to speak with a group and share your anxieties.
