How Would I be able to reduce from panicking?!
Question: How Would I be able to reduce from panicking?
Answers:
do you have asbergers? but in terms of social situations you wanna go out. I think whats going to make you feel good is to do something that matters. Family is great but they are family. They always gonna tell you you did great. And video games are a great break but they suck as a main course (they really do) I think its the fear that will make you better. If you want to meet people do it, dont think you need to go out WITH people, go out TO MEET people. Don't be embarrassed your alone, Going out and failing is going to drive you crazy, the thing that will make you happy though isnt going to be the first time. Most likely it will suck. But its going to get better The thing that will make you happy is the time you go out to meet people the next times and you find you learned from mistakes and you are getting better. It sucks that your homeschooled cause school is where you learn to interact with others. But its not a death sentence.
Heres a trick most of the smoothest guys in the world use. its called the 3 second rule. Its the rule that within 3 seconds of seeing someone you would like to talk to go up to them within 3 seconds of deciding you want to talk to them. If you take longer then that you sike yourself out and chicken out talking to people (if they wonder why your talking to them you can explain the 3 second rule with them, its a pretty interesting topic to discuss and so many ways to go with it)
Most important part is how you present yourself. confidence - if you appear like you dont deserve to talk to them they will pick up on it. Smile, dress nice, make eye contact and be willing to laugh. Dont be shy with your laugh. Just dont be fake with your laugh. Laugh like you would if you were confident.
And ask nice questions and be willing to answer questions back.
If you want this is what i do all the time when i help my shy friends. I give them a mission and thats what ill give to you. Your objective is to go to a place you have never been before, with people you will never encounter again. and just engage a person for a minute and a half, then say you have to leave, and say that you wanted to talk to them before you left and ask for their phone number. This works.
in terms of free things to do. working out is always free. I like working out alone cause i can believe im at least progressing TOWARDS being social every time i work out. and girls love guys with good bodies. there are lots of at home workouts to do. Learn to dance or do art. Girls love guys who can do that.
Hope even if you dont like this that you at least got some ideas to move you foward out of depression (and FYI exercising and working out causes your brain to releases endorphines to enhance your mood :))
