if you're close with someone who has social anxiety, PLEASE.
what we crave more than anything is validation. when you agree with us in conversation or casually compliment or casual compliments, it means so much.
social anxiety likes to convince us everyone hates us and that everyone judges what we do, how we look, the way we speak, and it especially likes to do that with people we're close to.
so as someone who's friends with someone who has social anxiety, just remind them that you care, that you dont hate them, that you dont find their every move annoying and that you value them. it can help, so much more than you'd imagine.
