Basically I've had a rough time as a kid and teenager due to my autism and even though I have improved myself in the past 2 years (24 now) to the point where my autism is non-existent I still have low confidence in myself like today I was in a drive through and 2 girls and a boy were in a car behind me but the weird thing happened when both the girls seemed to know who I am and said "HEY ANON! PARK UP SO WE CAN CATCH UP" even though I have no idea who they are and because of past experiences where people have been nice only to take the piss out of me I just smiled and said "Hey! sure!" confidently but after I got my order I just drove off.
I didn't have a panic attack or anything like that but I just didn't feel comfortable and I know this is because of my low confidence, I find it difficult to see how people can like me when I have been alone for the majority of my life.

I recommend the self authoring program by pic related
It's essentially cognitive behavioral therapy that you do on yourself
The past authoring suite actually made me cry a little bit. I realized that moments that seemed small and inconsequential at the time were actually traumatic
