Social Anxiety is such an overlooked mental block.
I've dealt with social anxiety for years. I'm envious of the people who can have conversations with other people and not even grace the presence of an awkward encounter. But throughout the years I have tried working on this ability to help myself feel more comfortable with social interactions. I have been making great progress, even for a job as a barista which forces me out of my comfort zone to talk to more strangers every day. It has been a beautiful and fulfilling process and I think more people should recognize how excruciatingly hard it can be to conquer the anxiety I feel around people. To all who have improved or are working on improving their social abilities, you guys deserve awards!
Wow I’m so proud of you!!! Good job for trying so hard. I know how intimidating it can be to talk to new people but you are doing a wonderful job. Some cookies for you: 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
@BlissfulKiya That's awesome! I can definitely relate. I've learned it's good to want to communicate with others and ok to start the conversation. A challenge for sure, yet very good.
I appreciate you posting this, I have dealt with social anxiety as long as I can remember and it can be really hard. It's really helpful just hearing from someone who has had a similar experience. Kudos to you for pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, I know how hard that can be and I'm proud of you
