I think there are definitely a few people who do these interviews in order to get over that kind of anxiety. some people do stand up for the same reason—I think Daniel Tosh has talked about this? Horrible anxiety, but he has developed a whole stand up persona, and the stand up persona lets him come out when he needs to.
Power through the interviews, just deal with a few hours of rejection, and hopefully you'll come through it feeling more comfortable with yourself, right?

why is talking to people who i want to be friends with so stressful?? i saw this guy today who volunteers at the radio station i volunteer at, and who i’ve seen play with his band a few shows, and is friends with my friends, but has no idea who i am. i stood off to the side for ten minutes trying to work up the courage to say hello, sweating, getting a stomach ache, itchy, blushing. in the end i just left without saying anything. why is it so hard!

I GREW UP WITH REALLY BAD ANXIETY, SO NOW I SEEK OUT AWKWARDNESS AS A SORT OF EXPOSURE THERAPY FOR MYSELF. I FULL SEND INTO CONVERSATIONS BEING COMPLETELY MYSELF NO MATTER THE FEAR I HAVE OF WHAT OTHERS WILL THINK OF ME. TURNS OUT THAT MOST OF THE TIME IT GOES PRETTY WELL, AND IF ITS AWKWARD I CAN HANDLE IT NOW. :)

I feel like this place isn't about people but about recommendations, right? forget the influencer, forget the individual, just browse and talk about cool shit and whoever says something good, that's good. that's what I liked about reddit, back when I actually liked reddit.
I haven't found many people I want to follow, and I'm not really looking.

for a while, when I wanted something expensive, I would think to myself, "oh, let me just look for a cheaper version of it." I end up settling for something that isn't good in any of the ways that made me want the expensive version.
Throw that out. You can get fantastic pieces for cheap, you can thrift a wardrobe you love, but if you're trying to find a cheap copy of something expensive, it's not going to work.

I pulled together all the good advice I could on how to get a men's summer wardrobe together cheap. I hope it helps somebody.
