Want to reduce social anxiety? Check out this realistic method that might be a bit difficult at first, but it “works” well.I remember years ago when I was first unwinding the layers of social anxiety I was trying everything and anything I could experiment with to help me out.I would go to the mall or another crowded area and I would basically experiment and talk with strangers. Now, I know depending on who you are, that might sound out of this world.But, bear with me.Disclaimer: If this is your first time taking action on your social anxiety or do not have an actionable recovery plan. I highly DO NOT RECOMMEND starting off with this as your first step. Why? Doing this is difficult. I recommend trying out the other practices to reduce and recover from social anxiety before you start doing this for the best results.Read the rest of the show notes: https://markmetry.substack.com/p/most-realistic-way-to-reduce-anxiety- Subscribe to my FREE Newsletter: https://bit.ly/3eANWld- Read or Listen to my book Screw Being Shy: https://bit.ly/2PqV2QI- Quickly Apply for 1 on 1 Coaching: https://bit.ly/2Pslqd0- Sign up for my online course: https://www.markmetry.com/program~~~CONNECT w/ MARK~~~- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-metry/- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markmetry- Twitter: https://twitter.com/markymetry- Website: https://www.markmetry.com/- Email: [email protected]
