Practice, take a break, practice, repeat. Believe in yourself, practice self-love, know you are worthy of being where you are.

Breathe, try to avoid conversation with anyone that makes you anxious and instead try to talk to people you know or enjoy talking to.

Take deep breaths and ask to go get some fresh air. I have anxiety also so I understand. I can help if anyone has anxiety.

anxiety comes when you worry about what others might think of you... and how you can please them so simply be yourself because if they were to accept you they will accept the real you not a fake you and be confident about yourself .dont let doubt get the best of you believe in yourself period.

Making less focus on ourselves, and try to logically analyze our situation and behavior. It makes it look smaller and easier to deal with :)

Realise that whoever you meet are most likely also going to feel equally anxious about meeting you! They are as human as you are and we all have the need to feel accepted. With this, take many deep breaths, calm down. Watch some stand up comedy videos, or Improv, whatever that makes you laugh, and go and have fun!

I struggle with this personally, and the way that helps me may not be right for you, but it may help. I normally take deep breaths and close my eyes for a moment before asking politely if I can go to the restroom or someplace quiet for a moment.

I struggled with stifling social anxiety since middle School! The best way to do it is to take a variety of small risks. Make friendly eye contact with strangers. Go to an event alone. Read up on the news so that you have a few interesting tidbits to share. Talk to a therapist about it and set up a strategy together to conquer social anxiety! Make small challenges for yourself, ie ask one stranger a day for the time. Strike up one conversation a day with a stranger about a simple topic - the weather, the news, or their neat hat or shoes! When you practice taking to strangers, it becomes easier to talk to anyone else! :)
