hey yall, i'm just looking for some advice on how to help out my boyfriend. we both have anxiety, but he mainly has social anxiety. it's crippling for him and i'm usually his person to take him places and help him out, but i'm moving away in a week. 

he barely has many friends, because he doesn't like to reach out to people. i don't know if i should push him to meet people, or let him do it himself. i know he's gonna be super lonely once i leave, because i really am the only person he has. 

he struggles going anywhere by himself, even just a simple drive through for food. he has a job, but it involves a lot of talking to people, and he really hates it. 

i don't know how to make him feel more comfortable without pushing him to face his anxiety head on. my anxiety is more about myself and i'm a huge extrovert, so i don't understand social anxiety. but i want to help him as much as i can. should i push him to go meet new people, connect with old friends, go places? or should i let him figure it out at his own pace?

i worry about letting him figure it out, because his anxiety is so bad. i'm scared it will consume him completely and he really won't have anyone and no way of making those connections. but i also don't want to force him into it just because that's how *i* face my problems. 

if anyone knows what the best option is, or has any experience with this, please let me know. i care about his well-being a lot, and i don't want to see him so holed up because of his anxiety anymore
