Dealing with Social Anxiety at Parties

my therapist recommended I chew on gum or a hard candy when i’m anxious because it sorta tricks your brain. When you’re anxious one of the things that happens is dry mouth, so chewing or sucking on candy produces saliva that can trick your body into thinking it’s not as anxious as it seems. It seems to help me in mild situations, along with drinking a cold drink to make you not feel as hot

Don't attend parties. Slowly increase the amount of exposure you have to social experiences until you can tolerate that amount of anxiety.

Thanks. I'll will try this tip the next time when I'm in that situation. 😊

Thank you, I will do. 😊

I love to go out but when it comes to events and gatherings it's quiet a challenge. Always afraid that I may say the wrong thing or that I might get laughed at.
