What is the best way to get over anxiety in social settings ?

Remember that people are not there to judge you, and they likely realize your value as a person. You have just as much of a right to a voice as everyone else.

Anxiety in social situations can vary as much as ways to deal with them. being able to understand your specific triggers can certainly help you to explore ways to work your responses to your anxieties. Remembering to take it one step at a time and being okay if the first time you do not get as far or stay as long as you would liked. Of course if this is a major issue for you, I encourage you to seek out professional help. Talk to close friends and family so you can have someone who understands what you are feeling and you can even set up a signal to escape for a moment that they know so they can help you process and return or leave on. Eitherway having someone at your side is adviseable if possible.

Experience. Getting over it takes time, determination, and hard work. For me, I had to focus on improvement, not how good I was at the moment. So even if I messed up in social situations, I would treat it like a learning experience

I would say its more than confidence and accepting yourself , because once you accept yourself you might cut off some emotions that you once had in the past that might do a slight difference.

Remember that people are just people. They have interests and hopes and dreams and quirks like you are not this higher authority that you might be afraid of. No one is perfect , and I think we all need to remember that when we're in public. That its ok to let our guard down and me authentic.

In my experiences, I would say the best way to get over anxiety in social settings would be to take slow, deep breaths in case of any fears running through your head. If they do appear, shout this line in your head: "Everything will be fine. I can be a social person."

Practice breathing and grounding techniques. Do things you wouldn't normally do due to your anxiety, no matter how small.

Breathe and remember that soon it will pass and you can go home. Your anxiety will go away, but to handle it, you just have to breathe.

For me, I like to find a quiet place to be alone and take a few deep breaths before returning to the social situation. Sometimes it helps for me to be alone outside and get some fresh air or to talk to someone I trust through my cellphone.

Practice makes perfect! This cliche can apply to social anxiety as well as its many other uses. The more you interact with people, the more you will realize that it won't go as you expect, it will turn out fine!
