also this, if i didn't make this clear. this has to be done with the psychedelics. not necissarily literal therapy, but exposure, gradually, while under the influence of small doses and then slightly larger but still small doses, maybe eventually working up to say a 1/3rd of a hit of acid. youll probably end up being able to handle more especially if youre around people who dont care if youre tripping. i can't remember dosages of dried or wet shrooms  i ended up taking half a hit of acid before going to work all the time long ago, made everything much easier, especially in the long run. sometimes it will be intense and kinda overwhelming in the moment but that's good, you just keep functioning like normal and then your brain is rewired so that when you go to do these things sober it's pure muscle memory, completely automated, job tasks, social interactions, whatever will end up feeling automatic, effortless, once you have done it fine while at the peak of a psychedelic. shit totally rewires your brain skipping all the useless neuropathways think of it like this. your entire state of mind is a path of neurons firing outwards like a fractal, like a tree. and all the neurons, all the thoughts wasted on neurotic bullshit, all that is culled, cut off, erased, like dead branches, and makes way for new pathways that are actually productive, new branches that actually capture light for photosynthesis. this is actually what happens in your brain when you take psychedelics to overcome mental problems or just reduce stress. you eliminate all the useless thoughts that were a waste of energy and taking up space and replace them with healthy ones
