Anxiety

Just look at it as something you have to overcome. The more you do something, the more comfortable you will be doing it. Everyone around you is anxious, besides the people that actually went out and battled their fears.

Get good quality sleep, this will lower your anxiety. A sleep deprived brain is an anxious brain. I suffered from a sleep disorder and had extreme all day anxiety because of it, as well as very bad depression. Once I got my sleep fixed my anxiety disappeared completely.

Then once I added daily exercise of walking 5-6km each morning, I now have a calmness and confidence in my self which I haven’t felt for decades.

Goto bed an hour earlier than you do now, get up an hour earlier, put in your Airbuds and crank some music and go walk for an hour. Or lift ideally. You will feel a difference through the rest of the day, you’ll be happier/positive, less stressed and more calm.

If you stay inside a lot and don’t get a lot of sun, get on some vitamin D supplements. They made a huge difference for me. It improves the quality of your sleep. Which lowers your natural anxiety.

I'm currently studying at university, and when I was in high school I had a pretty strong social anxiety. So the lesson I have learned might be golden advise to you.

In a couple of years you will be laughing about your former concerns, as I'm now doing when I think about my former class mates, etc.. You are a man, a man who works to be the best version of himself. You are enough, and you do NOT need to seek validation when interacting with ohers.

Do not overthink, work on your real purpose, and you will stop even thinking about other people's judgement. Anxiety will disappear from your brain's dictionary, as soon as you do this.

I try to just push through it

The trick with phobias is to gently push it.

"White knuckling" it doesn't make it go away. What makes it go away is doing a small amount of the phobic-thing and learning to relax through it, and keeping on gently pushing the boundary.

You push the "what can I do and stay relaxed" boundary rather than the "what can I grin and bear" boundary.

Besides doing things like lifting, exercising, and eating correctly, if you suffer from chronic anxiety, I would recommend talking to your pastor or better yet a trained counselor who uses DBT as a therapy type. I tried this a few years back and it really helped my life out a lot especially for confidence in myself and learning to deal with high pressure situations. And before anyone says therapy and counseling is beta, I don’t care because it worked for me
