Revelation How to not gaf

Hey guys first post here because I am struggling a little because I am so insecure that I literally never try anything at all cuz I don’t want to suck at it. I am even ashamed and stressed when I walk and how I breathe. I have been SA’D before idk if that has anything to do with it. Any tips would be nice!

Honestly I sorta know how that feels - can't say Ive found a foolproof way out of it but - what works temporarily at least - its not really valuing the people that are around you , realise they aren't any better than you and have their own flaws , get out of your head and focus on something else in public situations , if you value people less you're less aware of their opinions and the urge to seek validation or control how they perceive you decreases a bit
