Do you have any memories/experiences of feeling confident and open, like AFTER being with people a lot or after public speaking?
My social anxiety is 100% when I am in my personal zone (working at desk). Its very hard to step away and deal property with people without being awkward. but after being w people or breaking the ice a bit, i feel more normal.
further: i was thinking karaoke meetups would be great for ppl to create a good/positive experience that would carry over for the rest of the week until the next karaoke.
