Please keep in mind that we aren't talking about chronic / clinical social anxiety, in which case you should always consult a licensed therapist / counsellor. But if you're dealing with general anxiety which cripples you out when you are out interacting with the world, there might be something for you to pick up from this podcast episode. This isn't some mainstream self help advice which always places more importance on learning social skills. Rather, we are working on simply resetting our mind to our primordial behavior of socializing. No pick up artistry or communication skill or body language hack is required to work it out. Any 'learnable' skill comes next always. First, we work on cutting through the issues at hand in order to get back in touch with our baseline. Once you get there, you decide whats next.
