I had horrible social anxiety growing up and into my early 20s. What you said about what you’re taking in (negative videos, tv, news etc) is true! I’d add this: The way I really overcame it was by facing it. Approaching people and giving genuine compliments and putting myself in progressively more challenging situations worked. The next layer was opening up more (it let’s you feel okay sharing your true self). Being honest and open, or letting someone in like you mentioned.
