ASMR Autism Chat: Things I'm doing to help with ✨Social Anxiety✨ (soft speaking rambles & tapping)

Hi friends!! I hope you enjoy this little chat.
I wanted to talk about strategies that I have been implementing to help with social anxiety. Let me know if you do the same things or maybe even something different that helps you! :)
As always, I am not an expert, just someone on the internet chatting about their experiences. Have a lovely night, my friends!

I totally understand. I've been trying really hard to work on my anxiety lately. I overthink a lot and I've been trying to redirect my energy by filtering my thinking through the lens of whether or not it serves me and adds anything to my life or if my mind power is better used by thinking or doing something else. That's been helpful to me.

[@RunkarooASMR]

That's a great strategy!

I had 3 really exhausting social events this month, which really showed me my social anxiety is worse than I thought it was, so this video is a good positive like idk reminder that things can be better again. Also just a very relaxing video, love it

[@RunkarooASMR]

I'm glad you liked the video, and I hope you get lots of rest time to recover from your social events!

@@RunkarooASMR thank you

Hey Roo! This is awesome. It’s not for everyone, but I was late diagnosed the same year you were and have gotten a ton out of DBT, which i started as an online class last March. Lots of similar and practical strategies similar to what you talked about here; it used to be very specifically for BPD but now has broadened a lot to help with autism-related social stuff and emotional regulation. Listening to this I think you might really like it, there are some intro books to get a sense of what it is.

[@RunkarooASMR]

That's so great that it's been helpful to you!! I think I have looked it up before and it is very similar to the way I like to process things as well! :D

[@elizakbryant]

Amazing! Yes I have found it super affirming and helpful at least with the folks I’ve done it with (DBT path) which feels rare in terms of stuff for autistic adults. Good luck on your journey!

[@RunkarooASMR]

@@elizakbryant Thank you!! Same to you!! :)

I absolutely do the outward reaction to intrusive thoughts thing! It's either that or I imagine the thought as a person and punch them really hard in my imagination...it oddly works sometimes! xD

[@RunkarooASMR]

Oh my gosh, I love that actually lol. I'm not a visual thinker, but if I was I would totally do that. xD
