Stop fapping

Basic checklist:

-8 hours of sleep every night

-good diet

-exercise

-good music that makes u feel cocky and shit

-social exposure (as an introvert I hate this part, but it’s necessary for the human animal)

Advanced:

-time in nature, quietly and alone

-meditation

-reishi 1 gram

-lions mane 1 gram

Yes sir. I used to be socially awkward af and lacked emotional intelligence. Biggest thing that helped me was to talk to everybody and anybody. Thinking back it was a long road as I did some cringe shit for the sake of improvement trying to figure out what worked.

Read how to win friends and influence people. If you understand this aspect you will become more confident in your conversations.

Cheers

Yeah I’ve been tackling it from every angle the past year and have had major improvements. Still a long way to go but I see the light at the end of the tunnel

In that department boxing sparring really worked for me in my experience. It's different for everyone I guess.

Improve your breathing skills that would help

I recommend a book called DARE it honestly changed my life helped my anxiety soo much! Can’t recommend it enough! It was like my bible for a year. Mediation(app called calm which is amazing), exercise, practice exposure to uncomfortable situations and eating healthy, lower alcohol and prayer

Stop jerking off

Specific-Fly-9490 · 2020-11-21T12:10:31+00:00

Yeah, me I developed it from being home a lot during quarantine. I just got out and hung out with friends more. I also did a lot of cold approaches even though I felt anxious. It’s fun af and will improve your social skills in a heartbeat.

Practice and gradual exposure. Seek no reaction, expect nothing from others and be yourself unapologetically.

Also, here's a protip derived from martial arts training: always be conscious of your breathing. You should strive to naturally breathe by expanding your lower belly. When you become anxious, your breathing becomes more focused on your chest, resulting in faster rate and less ventilation, which is linked to a fight-or-flight response. Sinking your breath to your belly gets you out of your head and into the present moment, as if you were telling your brain that everything is alright. If it works for fist fights, it will surely help with your social interactions.

Meditation

jn14j · 2020-11-21T16:25:40+00:00

Yes, it can still happen, but I have come to accept it is a result of my lifestyle decisions.

Getting a job at a sports bar in college helped a ton, with just shooting the shit. So did working as a cashier.

Lifting heavy weight helps change the baseline anxiety. MMA has helped a lot too, less anxious in foreign places.

Porn is something I absolutely abstain from, anxiety is very intertwined with it. Also, keep masturbation to a minimum, or go on occasional Nofap streaks if I feel I need a little extra juice (energy).

The other big one is technology consumption, if I do use youtube or Reddit for that matter, I try to look at things I can pay attention to for longer periods of time. I think ping-ponging between topics every 30 seconds can contribute to my anxiety if done for prolonged periods of time.

Also Meditate, being able to center yourself when you are overthinking or your mind is extra "jumpy" is a good way to bring that anxiety down.

Experiment and see what works for you... When I live each day with these habits in mind, the anxiety-free days start to become more common than days with anxiety.

Same problem for me, severe social anxiety and strong flight or fight about everything. It's so fucking annoying and I can't even go for a walk these days without feeling paranoid or judged, it's so annoying.

Psychological-Bee290 · 2020-11-21T21:14:22+00:00

Funny you should ask. I definitely have. By using this organic herb pill. Miracle in a bottle. I take two in the morning and one at night. Ive noticed it works best this way. Ashwaghanda capsules. On amazon. 2100 is the most potent on the marker so make sure u find one with 2100 mg
