Focus on Others
When you are in the group chatrooms, it’s hard to stop the endless thoughts that make you feel anxious easily. We usually turn inward and focus on our thoughts and ourselves. We dwell into a spiral of thoughts like how others will think, what if I will talk too much and no one listens, what if I mess up, what if others judge me how I am, etc. Assuming everything in advance could lead to worry and make you feel negative about even giving it a try.
But, the secret to starting a good chat is knowing everyone's feeling the same way and they don't know others' feelings also the same.
Start with stop putting the spotlight on yourself and put it on others. Focus on other people and try to be present and listen them. Listening them first will allow you to naturally open up about yourself too and lead to a good chat.
No one’s perfect, so try to be in the moment and actually listen to what is being said. No assumptions!! Simply, be in that moment!
