Focus on truly listening rather than worrying about your reply to  shift attention, and for better conversations.

Set Small Social Goals

3

Challenge yourself with small, achievable social interactions, like making eye contact or saying hello. 

Use Positive Self-Talk

4

Replace negative inner dialogue with  “I am safe” or “I can do this”. This builds resilience and helps manage triggering moments.

Spend a few minutes each night journaling your social wins and challenges. Identify your patterns and progress.

Managing social anxiety is a journey. 
Be kind to yourself, and celebrate every step forward, no matter how small it may seem.
