I used to be incredibly shy, like no one could hear me talk. But then COVID happened, so my junior year of hs was hybrid so i had a super small AP Chem class and got more comfortable with them, and then it was senior year. And I realized in senior year that wait a minute, Iβm not going to see any of these people ever again, so I just said fuck it we ball and decided itβs ok to be weird LOL and yapped waaaaayyyy to muchβ¦ now Iβm in college and I kinda forgot about like that I have to see these people for another few years but I donβt really care anymore LOL. Now I talk a lot in class because I get annoyed that people wonβt answer questions and I want to move onto the next thing.
I do also have anxiety, and I still very much have trouble with it but I feel like itβs in different ways now??? Like sometimes itβs socially but I am also forgetful and get distracted easily so I try not to dwell on it and distract myself with something new instead
