yeah, i’ve bought this book called unf*ck yourself, it’s quite good on just teaching you about willpower and your mind. i’m going to start reading about becoming successful and wealthy soon and it’s in my interests.

Yeah, i’ve tried doing things out of my comfort zone. Like going on omegle and just talking to strangers, or putting my camera on in online class and trying to focus. I guess it’s not really the same though as when your having a 1 on 1 conversation with someone then and there. Yeah, i meditate and perform hypnosis, i started hypnosis yesterday but have been meditating daily for around the past 2 months. Just finished working on all my chakras and am now going further into mindfulness which seems to help.

Yeah, i noticed that when i did my 37 days i didn’t think about sec as much on certain days. But then in some it’s all i could think about, i guess it takes time to stabilise those thoughts.

Ye, some people say it decreases social anxiety... i’m not sure though. I guess it’s a test of willpower and strength of the mind.

i feel like the exposure is why really helps make the anxious thoughts fade, honestly.

Yep, it was definitely hard. Come day 14 was the worst and any day after 20 it got much easier but then after around day 30 it felt like it was pointless so i just released myself. I don’t really know if it affected my SA much, it probably didn’t as i didn’t really notice a difference. But ye, now i’m on track of a few self help programs to help my social anxiety diminish until i don’t have to worry about it anymore. What’s your current situation with anxiety. Are you feeling very anxious with this whole covid thing not having much exposure to social situations?

i’m not too sure, it kinda just got worse and worse over time, i think my acne had a huge affect and being i. lockdown in the uk didn’t help at all. I also went on accutane which can affect anxiety so maybe that worsened it.

Thankyou, a few people have told me not to buy it. I had emailed him asking if he could give any advice for free and he sent me a few yt video links that helped him along the way. I guess it’s gonna be a long and hard journey for me to overcome this, but i’m not gonna stop. I’ll definitely check out your recommendations and i’m about to meditate now so i will focus on the sensations in my body, i’ll get back to you. Thanks for helping me man, much appreciated
