My personal experience is that it is impossible to tell whether I got more socially apprehensive or just more sensitive to it - now that I have experienced times under the effects of this drug where I was very pro social and fearless. The older I get I feel like I was super insecure and socially awkward my whole life but I didn’t know anything else so it felt normal. Now I feel depressed sometimes and have social anxiety, but sometimes I don’t.

I experienced a similar thing by going to therapy. I don’t necessarily get better overall, but more confident in handling the dark times.
