Social Practice

Show Up Imperfectly.

A 5-Page Daily Workbook for Social Anxiety

Do you ever replay conversations, avoid making phone calls, use self-checkout to avoid talking to someone, or worry that people can tell you’re anxious?

Social anxiety isn’t just about avoiding people. It’s about all the little things we do to prevent embarrassment, judgment, or discomfort.

And sometimes those little things keep us stuck.

Social Practice helps you identify the subtle ways anxiety influences your everyday decisions and gives you practical opportunities to start doing things differently.

This isn’t about becoming outgoing, making perfect conversation, or eliminating social anxiety.

It’s about learning to participate in life without needing to feel confident first.

Inside, you’ll find:

• A simple explanation of social anxiety and anticipatory fear.
• An inventory of everyday situations you might be avoiding.
• A checklist of subtle safety behaviors, including overthinking, rehearsing, and trying to hide anxiety.
• Practical exposure ideas, from answering phone calls to asking someone for help in a store.
• A daily worksheet and seven-day challenge to build tolerance through repetition.

Blushing doesn’t mean you embarrassed yourself. Stumbling over your words doesn’t mean you failed. Feeling anxious doesn’t mean the interaction went badly.

Just like going to the gym, building tolerance takes practice. Sometimes that means choosing the regular checkout instead of self-checkout, making the phone call you’ve been putting off, or going to the grocery store more frequently just to create opportunities to practice.

It’s not always convenient. That’s part of the practice.

You don’t have to show up perfectly. You just have to practice showing up.
