Something I had to realize in regards to extreme social anxiety, which I suffered with in the 2000s, was that people aren't focused on me like I think they are. it's almost kind of a delusion of grandeur in a sense that I felt like literally everyone was watching me, laughing at me, etc when in reality no one is paying that much attention to me.
