advice that may sound overly simplistic

Put yourself into increasingly mortifying social situations that make you think what am I even doing here and participate fully (bonus if it’s performance-arts-related). Remember to take deep breaths! Try to keep in mind that nobody is thinking about you as much as you are thinking about yourself. Develop your self-esteem and believe that though there’s always room for self-improvement, who you are is enough. Trust that most people are kind and understanding and if they aren’t that’s a reflection of their own moral character. The physiological feelings of anxiety might never go away but you can learn to react to them!

free yourself

my personal mantra is “if everything’s cringe, nothing’s cringe” and it sounds so silly but it really has helped me. also i spent my teenage years burying myself under 16 layers of irony, so now anything i do out of genuine interest and curiosity feels like taking a breath of fresh air cuz i don’t have to justify it with pretentious or apathetic attitudes, it is so freeing

public transport

there's something so intimate about being on public transport together: thighs touching on the narrow seats, quiet words drowned out by the noise of the vehicle, sharing earbuds.
