Im not sure if anyone has touched on it yet, but i would say the best way to overcome anysort of social anxiety is to pretend you are performing. I used to be really bad about my social anxiety but i feel i am doing better about it ever since i started to "fake my confidence". I mean, if i act like im confident in what im saying, the person im saying it too wont know otherwise. This has worked in many social situations for me. Its also an easy way to take some stress out of daily dialogue. If I get shot down, its all gucci, the fake and full of bravado me got shut down/ Not the quite, sad, loner kid... if that makes any sense?? TLDR? Fake it till you make it

I'm just saying that this may be a way that may work for some people. I don't do this because It doesn't work for me but I've seen it work for other people so I was just saying that there is that way of thinking. And alot of the time most people don't really take our opinions into consideration anyway so you shouldn't think so much about taking theres. The world is black and white but you never know when your dealing with someone who is more black then white or more white then black so as a cautious person it makes sense not to pay too much attention to people's opinions because there are plenty of people who are out there that will take the plunge to hurt you if they can. Even people who give good compliments I've had enough of them telling me good things then behind my back laughing at me and saying completely reversed from what they told me up front. People are twisted and you have to protect yourself so just don't take people's opinions too seriously, Do what you like to do and do it with pride who cares what someone else thinks about it? Not giving a fook isn't a bad way of doing stuff sometimes you HAVE to be selfish in order to protect yourself from people many people out there who can harm you. You'll know when to not give a f and when to give a f. With negative people that is the best way of going about and with people whom you TRUST of course you give a f and show consideration cause you know they do to you. But to people who you know don't give consideration to you? Why should you give consideration to them?. Don't give to people who aren't even willing to give back love or positivity that is the type of people you DONT want in your life. Yeah what you said doesn't really make sense Yasshat because its hypocritical. Everyone wants there opinion to be valued its only normal but if you go about valuing other people's options and they don't value yours your giving out good positive to them and there not returning is what you DON'T want. You want to avoid those situations you want to avoid people who suck positive from you and don't give anything in return but negativity. Is a big no no. You get rid of people like that in your life. You only need people who care about you and give back positive to you and who value your opinions. You don't need to be hypocrite to understand that. Learn to surround yourself with positivity and positive people and shun away negative people, you don't need to give a fuck about negative people. Alot of people I see espeically with Otakus is there is alot of us who are very selfless. And this can result in many of you being harmed or used by other people who are negative, I don't want you guys to think you have to PLEASE other people just to have friends or to have someone to talk to that isn't true you don't have to please anyone, in life you are born alone you die alone, everyone understands its goood to be generious and to be sharing and giving not expecting anything in return but people who are like this if they aren't cautious they can be used and used and hurt and soon they will begin to become selfless. Dont let people think they are intitled to your affection that they don't have to return anything to you, Get rid of people like that. No one is entitled to taking from you without giving in return, love is a two way street you give and you are suppose to get in return if you don't get in return then the person is not a good person to keep in your life, only keep the people who give back to you because that is what love truly is, its giving and receiving. If someone only gives and gives and gives they will become selfless and one day they will have nothing left to give except there hatred and resentfulness. Learn to value yourself more and its okay to a little selfish every now and then.
