Anxiety or something

lowviz1 February 20th, 2017

I use to be a super social and active person. I like being around people, and going out, and when I do, I feel great. But building up to such interactions make me nervious for some reason, like I want to put myself out there and I don't at the same time. I'm also finding I have a lot of nervousness and anxiousness when I know there's a conflict or potential confruntation with another person. Finally, I have issues following through with things, saying I'll do something and don't, both socially and otherwise. I have a need to make those I'm close to happy all the time, which is probably where a lot of this stems from, but it's very bothersome to me. People see me as outgoing, energetic, friendly etc but there's so much anxiety and nervousness that people don't see.

First, be kind and patient with yourself. If you don't think your feelings are too debilitating, you may want to look up some guided meditations. There are probably 100's of flavours; find one that helps you.
