  • The only way you can improve this is small steps in the right direction. Unfortunately, beating social anxiety takes a lot of work.
    STEP 1: Get into a workout routine. Put some shoes on and start running for a half-hour everyday. Not only will you lose weight, it will help calm down any kind of anxiety you have, and put you in a better mood.

    STEP 2: Write down things that seem interesting to you. Then, start trying some new hobbies, and learning some new skills. Find something that you really like, and find meetup groups where you can meet people who are interested in the same thing because the easiest conversation to have is a shared interest.

    STEP 3: Start engaging conversation with people you come in contact with everyday, such as the grocery store clerk at a grocery store or clerk at a gas station. If you do this enough, eventually you will get more used to interacting with people everywhere you go and it will slowly become a part of who you are.
    Once you get comfortable with these steps, you will have built confidence and charisma. So, when you go out by yourself you won't feel as anxious, and it will be a lot easier to make a good impression on that girl you possibly want to approach.
