    Practice being cognizant of this. Visualize yourself being aware of this while talking with people. This kind of visualization often helps me realize when I am engaging in behavior I want to change.

      I don’t need to change, I just need more people to talk to outside of work. Making new friends at my age is the Dark Souls of socializing 💀

        Meet Ups. Seriously. I got most of my post-school friends from doing that. Boardgame meetups were the best.

        Yes, but if you don’t deal with the negative feelings you have when people comment on something you’re self conscious about, its still going to affect you. Not everything can be solved with exposure therapy.

          That’s not a problem with me, it’s the lack of like-minded individuals with which to converse. I’m not really self-conscious about anything other than doing my job at work.
