Struggling with Aesthetic Social Anxiety - Any Tips?
Top Replies
Hi MHAwareness, Thanks for sharing your experience. Aesthetic social anxiety is indeed a common challenge for many people. It can help to remind yourself that most people are too busy worrying about their own appearance to judge you harshly. Gradual exposure to social situations, perhaps by trying out new styles in a supportive environment, can also be beneficial.
Another approach is to practice self-compassion and self-acceptance. Instead of focusing on what others might think, focus on what makes you feel comfortable and confident in your own skin. Surrounding yourself with positive, supportive people can also make a big difference.
It's important to remember that overcoming social anxiety takes time and effort. Don't be too hard on yourself if progress feels slow. Celebrate small victories, like trying out a new outfit or attending a social event you might have otherwise avoided. Keep at it, and you'll continue to build confidence and resilience.
