Taking days where you know you are going to do something you feel uncomfortable is important. Exposure therapy! Although exploring a new place in the city or talking to a new person or old friends may give you anxiety before or during after it will make you realize the worst things you were imagining happening that gave your the anxiety didn’t and given time it will get easier. Now, during if you are experiencing anxiety, do things that calm you down in the moment to realize you are okay your doing great and it’s not so bad you can look at the good parts of it. This can be something like naming things in your head that you see around you.

I've found out that box breathing helps a bit with my anxiety, perhaps it could help you. It helps reset the nervous system and make the brain calm down a bit. (At least that's what my friend told me lol) Another option you can try is to have a comfort item/hobby that you can take with you. I like to draw in a notepad when i get anxious. It gives me a moment to step back and not worry sometimes. Granted these things may not work, since everyone is different,but hopefully one of these methods help :)
