Managing social anxiety at gatherings

[laura_keller]

Parties and group lunches drain me and I avoid them. 😬 What strategies help with social anxiety at events?

My approach

Strategy	Effect
Arrive early ✋	Smaller crowd to ease in
Have an exit plan 🚪	Reduces trapped feeling
Prepare small talk topics 💬	Less pressure
Set a time limit ⏱️	Attend shorter

• Bring a familiar friend
• Focus on one person at a time
• Reward myself after

How do you handle social events with anxiety? 🎉
