Eh idk how much help I can be but some pep motivation videos or books to build your self image, affirmations, practice talking to people in the mirror , compliments are a great conversation starter. People automatically like people who build their self image. Find people with similar interests so you have something to talk about , join a club or a sport. Work out – itāll get your self image up and increase energy and better sleep. Practice smiling at people – worst that can happen is they donāt smile back or give you a look but in those cases they are the weirdos and also gotta give them grace cause they might not expect it and be slow to react. Put on an outfit you feel good in – increasing self image/confidence. If youāre a girl try some makeup , nothing crazy just natural again self image . Look for another quiet person -theyd probably be stoked to be acknowledged by someone too and challenge any self defeating thoughts you have of yourself. āIām so awkwardā , where did that thought come from? Whatās the proof of that ? What could you say to yourself to replace that so that you get the outcome you want even if it āIām so awkward but fuck it I love myself and Iāll find people whoāll love me for my awkwardness tooā or āIām so smooth and suaveā lol idk some thought thatāll help you feel better instead of worse. Your thoughts are your reality. Mmm and yea thatās all that I can think of atm
