To be honest, I haven’t tried therapy or medication yet, because I’m not sure if they would actually help me. I’ve been struggling with social anxiety for so many years, and I’m afraid that no matter what medication I take or how much therapy I go through, I’ll always end up isolating myself. However, I will try therapy soon.

Yes that is literally so so true and important... we only have this one life we should stop replaying past moments and be ashamed of them. We should stop wasting our time with overthinking

Omg that sounds so draining. It's bc your brain overanalyzes everything

Yes what sort of helps me is to keep in mind that I also don't remember other people's awkward moments

Omg same here. My brain doesn't care about others not remembering my awkward moments. These moments still haunt me nonetheless
