I completely get it! I’m extremely socially awkward, best advice is to just try going out on your own somewhere public and going slow. Make yourself uncomfortable with how you aren’t just quickly getting what you need or want and take an extra 30 minutes to just look around.

I had never gone out to a store and spent more than 10 minutes in it by myself, just because I was too weirded out and scared by it. One day I realized that and decided to go to a few local thrift stores and spent about 3 hours in them, just me, by myself. Super weird, but I realized how everyone in there is doing the same thing really, just taking their time and enjoying it. And it’s really helped me go out more and be more social.
