I was just at my next door neighbor's house. I left a note in his mail box, basically saying "I'm the next door neighbor, I talked to you like 6 months ago and you asked if I am interested in music making, I am interested now. I didn't want to bother you by knocking on your door so I decided to write a note. I have some IPA beers that I don't like if you'd be interested in having them." So we must have talked for like a couple hours about computer stuff, I just feel like I have some anxiety now, you know?

It's like I guess I feel this way whenever I talk to someone new. I don't want to because I feel bad feeling anxious over such a nice guy. He invited me in, showed me all his equipment, we talked about music for a while and our favorite music venues in the city. It should be a nice experience to anyone who is a sane human being, which as you all know I am not.

Alcohol.

Avoiding the situation entirely.

Still trying to find ways to cope with my anxiety. I'm a roll-with-the-punches type person when it comes to living life, so, I don't really like going in with a strategy, because if I fail, then... well, that's a lot of time wasted for nothing.

If I have to do something, I'll do it, because I know I have to. It doesn't really matter how I feel about it.

this becomes easy to deal with for awhile, unless I do it too much
then I just come home manically depressed

it's not great

Meditation.

I tried this for like 15 minutes sitting on my bed completely still, but I still moved a little. It felt like I was sitting there for a lot longer. I gotta look up a wiki how on how to do it the proper way. I decided stop because I was sitting on my bed and the soreness of my back and legs were getting to me. I was sitting cross legged with my back straight.

Showers.

Music and in some cases deep breathing

-Exposure to whatever gives you anxiety kills it. This is how I've pretty much rid myself of most anxiety
-Meditation
-confidence in yourself helps with anxiety in dealing with other people

Anxiety can be good though. The best thing Ive done is changing my view on it to help push me to preform better or whatever. Look up "TED talk stress"

Also things that make mine worse in the long run are:
-marijuana
-Nonexposure to things. It can buiod back up
-CAFFEINE! Caffeine kills me, when i was taking 600mg of caffeine a day through preworkouts i would have terrible anxiety just being on the computer

Thanks and fuck caffeine for sure.

You have to cycle your pre.

OT: I rarely have anxiety because I make it a priority to get and keep my life in order. If I do get anxiety I either chill with my friends (company is the best stress reliever in my opinion) or I smoke weed.

Smoke some weed and take a relaxing walk

Meditation isn't about a pose, it's a mindset. Find a comfortable position and a mantra, then do that for about half an hour to an hour a day. Does wonders.

Opiates.
