I (21M) has been struggling from social and general anxiety for majority of my life. Since the start of the year, I became more anxious from seeing everyone else moving forward with their live. Classmates getting jobs, graduating, getting into relationships, etc. recently, I have been doing very well in improving my social anxiety. I’m no longer scared to go up to people, can easily start conversation, and even asking them out to hang out. I thought I was doing great. My only problem now is when I’m in a professional or school setting. I went to a college orientation a couple weeks back and it seems like when I was asked a simple question, like sharing my opinion, my mind goes blank. I couldn’t think of words to say, my voice becomes shaky, and I always end up saying something totally different from what I wanted to say. This year was the first time I felt motivated to move forward and finally apply for a job/internship, but my anxiety is always holding me back.
Is there any tips or practices I could do to improve my situation?
