ask strangers for directions for things (even when u know where they are), compliment people on random things, things that are out of the ordinary helped me get over mine. i was panicking doing those things but i just worked up the courage over time and it never bothered me again

Ask the cashier how their day is going, going to places like the mall/restaurant/theme park alone

Okay so I had severe social anxiety and I started slowly exposing myself. It really depends on where you are. That would help me give better advice.

At first it felt weird to go by myself but now it’s nice, I can do whatever I want and leave whenever I want. No one cares that you’re alone. When I go with my friends I’m not looking o that girls alone she’s weird. For me the hardest is ordering food, if they tell me they don’t have what I want sometimes I panic and order something I don’t actually want

I’m gonna be on a college campus in a few weeks and it’s a pretty small town but still pretty social
