No idea why I feel anxious when talking to people

I listened to a hypnosis audio course. Definitely worth it IMO. I'll DM you info if you want to try it out, it did cost me about $200.00 though but it was legit.
Entire NYPD should go on strike. You'll see then how quickly the mayor changes his tone.

It's pretty common, OP. Best thing you can do for yourself is to approach folks anyways. The more you avoid it, the worst it becomes.

This is the best advice in this thread. You have to put yourself in awkward situations to the point that you get used to it. I run a business and pick up the phone and call people who did not ask to be called and offer to do the largest financial transaction they have ever done in their life. You get good at it if you plow through it. I don't have to do it because I employ two other telemarketers but I do it because it gives me a rush.

OP, you gotta go from anxious, to relaxed, to euphoric. It takes time and practice. I think diet and exercise have a lot to do with how you feel.

Disagree with me, fine; but before calling me a fraudster click: https://forum.obnoxiousbrutes.com/showthread.php?t=185252663

Bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable unto all things.

It only gets worse if you don't get a job and talk to people. Sitting in the basement playing video games all day can fkn ruin you. Don't wank too much, go talk to people you know, then move on to small talk with people you don't know.

If you work a customer service job, you'll become more social and less awkward. Eventually you stop giving a $hit and the anxiety of self consciousness basically disappears. Then you have kids and realize you have to socialize them or they'll be fkn weak pu$$ies like you were.

Exposure therapy, you keep doing it and your fight/flight response will go away eventually

Realize most people you talk to are just as self conscious as you are. Perceived judgment is all in your head
