The only suggestion I would have for dealing with the social anxiety you experience would be to perhaps become involved with some club or organization that would help you learn to speak more freely. (Of course the current pandemic situation makes this a challenge at present.) In the U.S. there used to be (I assume there still is) one organization called: "Toastmasters" where members develop public speaking skills. Perhaps something such as that might be beneficial if such a thing exists where you live? I don't know. It's just a thought. My best wishes to you though.

I heard about that organization too. There is something similar to it in my country as well but it s more about holding speeches and talking in front of people.
Though I am not sure if that is what they are all about.

Yeah, my social life is also crumbling and my circle of friends is slowly deminshing.
It would be easier to not have freinds at all because than 80% of the stress or anxiety would be gone. But it gets lonely.

Thanks for the advice though and I hope that your situation will improve!
