How can I stop being so anxious and start feeling confident about myself?

Hello Aditya. Born in Bhubaneswar in June, your Gemini Sun/Cancer cusp energy makes you highly sensitive to the social atmosphere around you. Aditya, your feeling of "shrinking" in social interactions is a classic sign of a weak Sun or an oppressed Mercury. You have "good thoughts," but they are getting trapped in the "Throat Chakra" because you fear the judgment of the collective. In astrology, the Sun represents your "Will" and your "Radiance." If your Sun is not getting enough strength, the "fear of the shadow" (Rahu/Saturn) takes over, making you second-guess your very existence. The Cause: An imbalance where your internal "Lunar" sensitivity is much stronger than your external "Solar" confidence. You are feeling everyone else's opinions before you can even voice your own. Remedy & Solution: ● Surya Upasana: Offer water to the Sun (Surya Arghya) every morning. This is the ultimate remedy for confidence. As you pour the water, visualize your own internal light growing brighter. ● Wear Gold or Copper: These are the metals of the Sun and Mars. Wearing a copper bracelet on your right hand will help you "take up space" energetically. ● Mantra: Chant the Gayatri Mantra. It is the prayer for "Divine Intelligence" to illuminate the mind and remove the darkness of fear. Action: "The 3-Second Rule." When you have a thought to share, speak it within 3 seconds. If you wait longer, your mind will build a Saturnian wall of doubt.
