how do you guys keep your anxiety from spiraling? also before I say anything else, deep breaths do not work because then I become hyper aware of my lungs and how terrible they feel. basically my grandma talked to me into going to a young adult church meet up, and although I've had people tell me that I can be pretty good around people, at least for limited times, I have no idea how to read how I'm doing. I have no idea why some people talk to me in others don't, I don't know how to insert myself into a conversation normally, and I have no idea how to pick up on how other people feel about me. I do my best and I fake it till I make it, but that doesn't always work really. So right now I'm sitting in Chipotle trying to keep my anxiety about it all from spiraling and making things so much worse. and I am with a friend but I can't just dump everything on her constantly because what if she starts to hate me too and I can't realize.

One suggestion for coping with social anxiety is to try using a fidget tool or a rubber band on your wrist to snap when feeling anxious, as it can serve as a distraction. Another approach is to focus on baby steps, like smiling at people and seeing where that leads. Taking small breaks when needed can also help in managing anxiety during social situations.
