Any advice on how to feel confident going outside when you have social anxiety.

Hi everyone, this is my first post. Has any one got any advice on how to go out on my own when I have social anxiety, I feel like as soon as I step outside I feel awkward and stressed and every time I walk pass someone my eye contact goes straight to the ground. and when I get back home, I really feel the burnout which is so draining.

Any tips on how to feel less awkward and more confident.

I would try going out later in the day when there’s less of the hustle and bustle. Plan the route ahead of time perhaps so you are feeling in control before you leave and make out to yourself it’s a short mission and won’t take long so you’ll be home before you know it. Do this slowly over time and perhaps go a little further each time till you are more comfortable with the surroundings and environment, building up the confidence daily.
