How do you chill out and be yourself? I struggle with connecting to others at a deeper, interpersonal level, which is likely stemming from my insecurities and fear of showing my true self.
I've been sort of working on that but had a bad day at a wedding yesterday and had a drunk family member come up to me and tell me that I'm a bit tense and I should relax to get girls. Needless to say it only made me feel worse. It was true but I don't really focus on girls atm and I really dislike talking about how I suck. Remarkably alcohol doesn't help, it can often make me more frustrated and sad (and I never drink alone, I'm just talking how I feel after I drink with people and then come back home).

What helped me the most was to go on a trip somewhere (usually hiking for me), and along the way stop somewhere I've never been and don't plan on being ever again. Then just practice talking and interacting with strangers. Don't give a single shit because your never going to see them again, so even if you come across as a dick who cares. I'd have fun too, sometimes purposefully being a dick or nice or kinda quiet or whatever. It was kinda like a game I guess
