I came to a similar realization a few years ago. Helped a lot with dating. You are the only constant in your life. The only person with complete continuity (outside any mishaps/substances). That moment you're obsessing over? To everyone else it's just a 3min awkward interaction with a random person they're never going to see again. Or a bit of weirdness in a relationship that's going to last a small fraction of their life if you're lucky. Relax, do stuff, experiment, have fun. You're the only one who cares. Say something random, see what happens.
