  • I once leaned into my social anxiety to try and get out of some company outings and dinners etc. Instead of being able to get out of them, the company made a big deal about being inclusive of me and booked a “quiet meal” at a restaurant. It was meant as a place for people with sensory overload issues. Instead it became my awkward silence hell. Nobody talking but looking with that look at me occasionally.


















  • Good advice here in the comments. Id like to add, set a routine and have a spot in your routine to see or do something new in your new city. Whether its trying a new restaurant or checking out a park or whatever. Just something small at a certain time of day/week that you can look forward to, that helps you feel more at home in the new place. The routine also helps me a lot to not feel aimless.
