Oddly enough for me, even though I really struggle with social anxiety the one thing that seems to help me relax more than anything is having someone I can really talk to. Of course I have to get over that initial fear, but if it's someone I know and feel comfortable with then it's not that bad.
I sat on Discord for several hours last night chatting in text with someone I met on an anxiety forum about 2 months ago. We started with just messages on the forum, and we added each other on Discord pretty early on though never used it, then we went to email. Yesterday I decided I wanted to chat with someone else I haven't talked to in a long time on there, someone I've known for a couple of years now, and then this other person messaged me and we started chatting on there for the first time. We talked for almost 6 hours and my mind was able to get away from the bad thoughts and anxiety, plus it's just another example of how all it takes is getting past that initial fear to make something happen.
