Throwaway account for this one. So ive always been an introverted person. But i wasnt really having much trouble communicating. But about 6-7 months ago i started feeling scared to talk to people outside of my friend group. I kinda put myself in a box and cant get out of it. I might think about going to talk to a girl and then 700 billion different, mostly negstive scenarios will play out about me going and actually talking to her. I am not particularly unattractive, i have good grades (the social anxiety makes me constantly think about what others think of me so im quiet as shit and dont talk about my problems even to my friends and family), i work out regularly, i play guitar. I dont want to be like this. How can deal with it?
Sorry if i have made any mistakes, English isn’t my first language.

Hey, behavioral therapy is a good way to tackle social anxiety and to stop the negative thoughts
Best way is exposure and therapy
