The problem with people who claim to be affected by "social anxiety"

Look. Unless you went through an incredibly traumatic episode that rivals the effects of war, you're just nervous.

And what the real issue is?
A LOW THRESHOLD FOR SHOCK TO YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM.
Reality = how we interpret the information we receive from our senses.

If you've lived a bubble wrapped life. Never been through some real shit, never been in a fight etc

OF COURSE you're scared of people. WEAK EMOTIONAL IMMJNE SYSTEM.
How vaccines are *supposed* to work:

You get injected with the disease.
Your body LEARNS about it.
Develops antibodies.
It is now adequately prepared and equipped to deal with that virus should it encounter it in the real world.

MOST OF YOU
Have not had NEARLY enough TRAUMA
EXPERIENCE MORE SHOCKS TO YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM

Teach your body to develop those emotional antibodies.

Get ACCUSTOMED to high levels of fear, stress, pain etc

MAKE THEM SECOND NATURE

It's Cliche as hell but EVERYDAY DO SOMETHING THAT SCARES YOU
You probably know dudes that get heartbroken and are bedridden for a week.

Compare their emotional immune system to somebody that has VOLUNTARILY gone to HELL and back.

By SEEKING DISCOMFORT you RAISE YOUR THRESHOLD.

And everything other source of pain PALES in comparison.
For a moment, let's examine the emotional immune system of an adrenaline junkie.

Somebody that skydives, bungee jumps and hang glides for FUN

Do you think THEY will have social anxiety??? FUCK NO.

Because their THRESHOLD IS HIGH AS FUCK.

SEEK DISCOMFORT. PUSH THE ENVELOPE!!!
