  1. There's no reason to have social anxiety. Just remember, even if you make a fool of yourself, no one cares and no one will remember, they're too consumed with themselves. And no interaction is awkward unless YOU decide that it is. Even if you approach a girl, fumble your words and look like an idiot, just call it out. Be like "wow, I guess I'm really nervous, you must be super cute because this only happens when I'm around super cute girls. I'm nervous, what's your name?" Just roll with whatever happens and you'll be coolio.

  2. An addition is that whatever you're freaking out about today, you won't even remember and won't matter in 10 years. I used to freak out and get pissed at so many things, until I realized that none of it really matters...yeah you cracked your phones screen, in a few years you'll have a new one. Yeah your car got hit and now you have a dent in the side. Pretty soon you won't even see it unless someone mentions it. Worrying about things like that is pointless. There are plenty of important things to worry about, like why nothing you do seems to work out and why the universe apparently hates you lol.

  3. I cared way too much when I was younger, so I made it a priority to learn how to stop caring and be aware of my thoughts and reactions. It took a while, but it worked. I felt very free and could approach people, speak my mind, and act how I wanted, all without caring what people thought. Once you learn this, it's easy to maintain for quite some time, unless you constantly fail to get the things you want from life. If things are going well for you, you can easily deal with the people who don't like you, the missed opportunities, or situations that go sideways due to your eccentric personality. But if you don't have positive outcomes to balance it out, it gets hard to keep not caring. If every job you go for ends in no replies, if every girl you're interested in isn't interested in you, if you end up spending a lot of time alone because you don't have anyone to hang out with, not caring gets harder and harder as the years tick by. You know that being yourself and not caring definitely rubs some people the wrong way and makes you a target, but it's also supposed to get you some positive benefits that most people don't get. Not getting those benefits wears on you after a while.
