How can i be less nervous and anxious round new people?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It takes practice: Don't avoid being around new people, because you'll do better with more experience. If you are able to focus exclusively on the new people and avoid thinking about yourself (such as "what are they thinking of me?") you'll enjoy yourself more. This is a problem that can be helped by therapy/medication if severe enough to meet criteria for social anxiety disorder.
