I'm not on here everyday but I never seem to see this get mentioned. I just wanted to touch on meditation and how much it has helped me not only with woman but with all of my social interactions.

I have had pretty severe social anxiety for about as long as I can remember, I tried numerous medications, which helped slightly but only ever seemed to numb me.

Besides exercise and pushing myself into social situations, the thing I have found most beneficial is meditation.

Sitting still and being present for just ten minutes a day has giving me marked improvements in my anxiety control and my overall mood. It can be frustrating at first and the first couple sessions may feel unbearable, with your mind fighting to continue its never ending monologue.

After a while it feels like a sky full of clouds parting to reveal the beautiful calm blue beneath. I find this has helped me immensely in keeping my frame positive and allows me to not react emotionally when it is not neccesary.

I highly urge anyone to give it a shot. A great place to start, and the thing that finally hooked me is the Headspace app. They offer a free Take 10 course where you sit through guided 10 minute sessions for 10 days.

Just thought I'd throw this out there!
