Yes and no, depends on the person. Whilst exposure therapy isn't for everyone, it does help some people. I'm a successful example-- had severe social anxiety after uni which made me asocial and agoraphobic. After six months of not leaving the house and literally not talking to anyone, I decided I needed to take drastic measures. I moved halfway across the globe to a country where I knew no one and relied on a phrase book to communicate lmao It was extremely difficult, but given the choice, I would do it all over again since that decision (no exaggeration) saved my life!
Cute but chapter 3 was weird tho wouldn't sending him to a foreign country that he knows nothing about only make his social anxiety worse.
