How can I manage my anxiety at social events?

It's common to feel anxious at social events. Have you tried any relaxation techniques before attending?

I usually just avoid going, but I want to change that.

That's a great mindset! Start with smaller gatherings to build your confidence. Would you like some tips on that?

Yes, please! What should I do before the event?

Before the event, practice deep breathing, visualize a positive experience, and prepare some conversation starters.

That sounds helpful! What if I feel overwhelmed during the event?

If you feel overwhelmed, take a break in a quiet space, focus on your breathing, and remind yourself it's okay to step away.
