I don't recommend it. It will just make it worse ime. But you can try it for a few times , everyone is different

It works for sure for me. When I dont have fear I am magnetic, when I have a lot of fear I still take action and am very sweet. 

My question is rather if it gives me long lasting confidence.

Yeah I think that's a good way to describe it although it's hard to verbalize the psychedelic state. More incredible subtle things can open up to you for sure and the denseness of many elements in your mind loosens up because it gets recontextualized by being made more conscious. Fear for example becomes less personal, so the state is not really, "I have fear" to why "I have fear because...".

I might have to look more into the science of psychedelic therapy. People use it to change their behavior so it probably has at least decent use. 

hmm yeah. The solution is intensive self love probably. I always think that hypothetically a person who watches porn, doesnt socialize and has a shitty job would still be socially magnetic if that person would stay in an intense state of self love. 

It is possible to dissolve that dense fearful “barrier” that is social anxiety without psychedelics but it requires intense ~attention~ to it and all that it is associated with. So I’m guessing maybe usually you’re strongly identified with it but then with psychedelics you become more conscious of this fear aka you’re more separate from it and see it for what it is so that allows it to dissolve and flow through undisturbed . 
So this is kind of the goal so if you occasionally go into social situation without psychedelics pay full attention to this fearful barrier and all of its associations. So how does it make you behave (maybe looking away from people, changing your body language to more tense), what thoughts and images are associated with it, what limiting/false beliefs are associated with it. Just tracing it constantly live in real time and noticing how it expresses itself and you might naturally find sort of counters to it like if you notice you compulsively look away you might push yourself too keep eye contact or if you tense up you might relax your posture or if you notice beliefs you have that put pressure on yourself you might loosen that etc etc basically slowly but surely breaking this barrier apart by breaking apart all the things keeping it alive.  Because social anxiety can sometimes be more of a breaking down rather than building something up because idk bout you but for me it was underneath this fear “tension barrier” I call it I could sense my own social effortless flow aka authenticity but couldn’t access it like there was a “block” 

the self love part hm j guess love is opposite of fear so without fear you’d just be natural and authentic so likable usually yea
