How to deal with first day of school anxiety?

[Lisia]

I will be going to the starting day of university tomorrow. (It's the term for a day that you'll get information) I have a lot of social anxiety and am scared that I wouldn't find friends since I usually don't talk to people myself, I let they come to me. It worked in high school but this is different.. I don't know what to do.. I'm just so anxious.

It's all new for me by the way and I'll be going alone

You’re in the same position as many others, just jump into it with both feet, and literally just Yolo it. If you’ve gotten this far, anything is conquerable

Thanks :)

Honestly, just treat everyone like someone you have a mutual friend with who you're meeting for the first time and it'll go well :)

If you have social anxiety then it’s going to be hard , just focus on doing what you need to do and hopefully someone will approach you

Thanks, this is a good reply :)

Just play it cool you’ll get used to it

[Lisia]

I wish I could :/

[Iron_Man]

You can

[Lisia]

I'm not that confident tbh and I'm also an overthinker

[Iron_Man]

Just deal with it every day that goes by the better you’ll be

My teacher compared me to a lobster though

[Iron_Man]

Maybe go to another class if you’re being insulted

You should act as normal..

[Lisia]

Yes but I have lots of social anxiety so I'll be too shy to even talk to anyone :/

[Yellovv]

Are you shy person normally?

[Lisia]

Yup, very.

[Yellovv]

Why is that?

[Lisia]

I guess I care too much about people's opinions

[Yellovv]

What are you doing when you get compliement?
