weak
I know I’m not weak or atleast im trying to convince myself I’m not weak but it’s really hard when I cant even have a simple conversation with anyone. like today in class we had to go in breakout rooms unexpectedly to work with a partner and I started having a panic attack until she said that we can work alone if we wanted to. the first thing that came to my mind was that I was weak that I simply cant go and work for 15min with someone in my class. and I was so mad at myself for being terrified at the thought of having to be in a breakout room with someone random. I try so hard to convince myself I’m not weak but it’s getting harder and harder everyday.
You are not weak. No one is. It is ok to feel shy or being modest. You should try to talk to someone about u like . For example I play football and I will talk about the game non stop with anyone. Find ur favorite thing which you can talk about. And you will go far and far
@chelmart123 I think you need to map those situations -- making them familiar -- so that you are safe to play and work; otherwise, your nervous system will jump every time there's an anomaly occurring. So if you are in school, the best way to do that is to make some friends. A friend, by definition, brands the current environment as safe, and you can go to class with a clear and joyful state of mind because you know that what you want to happen actually happens.
