Does anyone have any advice on how to make friends and meet new people with social anxiety? I recently moved to a new city for college. When I am with people I am comfortable with, I am very social and love to go out and talk. I am generally a very social person and I thrive off of interacting with people that I am comfortable with, and I often get depressed when I do not get enough social interaction. However, when it comes to meeting new people and talking to new people, I get incredibly anxious and I forget how to talk to people. The thought of going out and interacting with new people that I do not know makes me nauseous and anxious. I know that I will feel a lot better and more at home in this new city once I make friends, but it is very hard to start conversations with people that I do not know, especially when I am already uncomfortable because I am in a new environment and city. Does anyone have any advice on how to meet new people when you have anxiety?
