Dealing with social anxiety

It takes a lot of energy to actually interact with people when we are constantly thinking about what other people's perception of us is. A lot of people have looked on social media and made an assumption that most people today are thriving, which not necessarily could be the case . stop labelling people and give them a chance to open up. In fact the approach one needs to take is, what can you do to feel more at ease ? Having said that a lot of that is rooted in dropping the run of being perfect.
