The last three times I have gone into a store, I have managed to go all the way through without a social anxiety induced dystonia spasm while in the store, even when making light conversation. Had spasms before and after entering the building, but I refuse to count those. Maybe soon I can make it through a whole conversation with someone I don't know well :).
congratulations. it takes awhile to "desensitize" and relax. it's much more difficult these days though.🙄
@holon42 Word. Only way I can do it is to pull back on my news watching. I've had to remind myself constantly I'm not just sticking my head in the sand to ignore, I'm healing so I can act more effectively.

yes, that's exactly right. we weren't designed to take horror 24/7.
