Do something that really takes you out of your comfort zone. Even if its hard, push through. Make sure its something you do enjoy though. When i was in hughschool i was dealing with intense anxiety, and i joined the drama csst2 my senior year. Long story short, I got more comfortable and less anxious. It realky helped me get out of my shell.

Finding someone youre comfortable around is really really difficult. I also needed a few approaches until i found someone I could work with. Keep trying! Anxiety is all about small steps. :)

Try to find out what works best for you. Feel better after a cup of tea, yoga or after breathing exercises? Include those in your daily routine or find healthy methods that you can use during a moment of anxiety. Know when you're anxious and try to find out why you react so negatively in a situation. Try to learn to understand yourself and if you have the chance and courage, try talking to a friend about it. Who knows, maybe they understand what you're going through better than you thought possible. Taking small steps at a time is fine, you do you :)
