(((((Sanada)))))
We are all social beings and it is important to have people to speak to on a daily basis. Please reach out to a local doctor or clinic or self-help group. Even if you just listen while they talk, you will not be alone. If possible, trust yourself to speak in a non-self defeating way, even if it's just a "hello, how are you?" or "beautiful day today!"
Also, sometimes breathing exercises will help calm your body and your mind. Please put so that you can feel your belly expand as you breathe. Then exhale. Do this several times, visualizing the healing fresh air nourishing your muscles and your mind, helping them to relax. Do a body check starting with your feet and going to your head, asking each body part muscle to relax as your continue taking slow deep breaths. If your mind feels tense, give it several deep breaths. If necessary, shake out the muscles to help them relax and do some slow shoulder and head rolls to make sure the neck muscles are relaxed.
Often, I tend to say the wrong things in social situations because of anxiety. People are often told to think before they speak; in this instance, also breath and relax always before you speak. If necessary, have prepared lines even if they are just, "Hi, my name is Sanada, nice to meet you!"
All the best to you!
