My social anxiety/agoraphobia just vanished. I'm not sure exactly what happened. I used to never ask for help when I needed it. Feel terribly self-conscious whenever anyone looked at me. I just started university and it happened one night when I learned to penny board. I was on the top of a parking garage practicing and felt endorphins for the first time in years. After that I felt like I could do anything. I am still conscious of when people look at me but it's so much easier not to care now. A flip just switched.

What was it about learning that that increased your confidence?

The fear of something happening is almost always more painful than when it actually does happen.
Good job OP.

No idea I just felt a high from exercising that obliterated my anxiety.

What if after that thing happens you ruminate on it for years to come? What if you have a database of these ruminations in your head that you're constantly reminded of and tormented by?

This. The aftereffects are always worse for me than the actual event in the moment. It's a living hell

Yeah, this is true for me too. I usually even think it went fine during or right after, then on my way home or whatever my mind just find 200 reasons why everything went shit and why I should never go outside ever again and then I end up super depressed for days after the thing I was doing.
