A: i have the same problem, but im overcoming mine slowly but surely. it’s a huge huge huge process, you cant expect results in days, its gonna take a long time.what helps me is reminding myself that everyone is a human being with feelings and insecurities just like me. no matter how intimidated i really feel, no matter how pretty or good looking someone is, i remember that they are just human beings like me, no better, no worse.and i find that little things that i do during the day make me feel better. take a person that sits next to you at school or work and compliment them on something theyre wearing (try to be genuine though) and that might spark a conversation between you two. or just ask that person a question, even if you dont need the answer, just get yourself talking little by little, anything to make you feel like youre socially involved. little things like that every day should make you feel better. and after a few weeks of doing little social interactions, try to iniciate little conversations with people. small talk all the way.good luck. and be strong!
