trick i use to help with social anxiety: pretend everyone is an npc in an rpg. they don’t affect you or your main quest. they’re not important in your life. they’re just kind of there. shopkeepers? just selling their wares. that guy staring at you on the bus occasionally? probably gonna go home to his equally unimportant npc family and repeat the same 20 lines of dialogue
