Sociability
Sociability compounds reduce social anxiety, build confidence, and lower the cognitive friction that makes social interaction feel effortful. They fall into three groups: GABAergic (direct anxiety suppression — fastest onset, highest risk of dependency), dopaminergic (confidence and motivation via catecholamine pathways — less sedating), and adaptogenic (cortisol and stress reduction that removes the upstream driver of social inhibition — safest for daily use).
