You just have to live with it as you take it step by step! Message people who seem interesting to you and, if they’re interested in you, make plans to meet! As with most things in life, the hardest part is showing up 🫶

🌞okay easier said than done, but having lived with anxiety since a kid it's easy to let life be lead by the fear of stuff and I've avoided so much and procrastinated so much. The first big thing I think I've learned as an adult is that the most important thing is just to keep moving and giving it a go. Like tonight I had a shift with a coworker I haven't worked with much at all, just us two and I was SO anxious. Me of two years ago would immediately pull a sickie but me of today just gave it a go!! I didn't blame myself for being quiet or awkward and just gave myself space and turns out she's SO lovely and now I'm not so anxious about working one on one with her again tomorrow. it's fine to be anxious but you can't let it halt you in life!!! take it slow, do it scared, do it quietly but give it a go and don't immediately blame yourself if you get things wrong. there's lots of other little moments like this I could list from lately but I'll spare you that !!!!

✈️Fear never goes away you just need to move your body and shut up. I am an insane over thinker and I never stop thinking. I solo traveled to Argentina and I am going to a concert in a few days alone. If you keep at what you love even alone you will meet people on a similar path soon enough or maybe not! But you will learn a lot about yourself, and who you are.
Also in regards to confidence. It’s a muscle not a thought process or a personality trait. You need to consistently work at it to keep it strong! you got this!

🤡I grew up being painfully shy with anyone other than my closest friends. I got sick of that. Over the years I’ve grown into a confident person by doing as much scary shit as I can. If there’s something I find particularly terrifying, like accepting an invitation to attend a clowning class, it means to me I have to just fucking do it. I don’t always end up having good experiences following my fear, but more often than not, I do. And you know, worst case scenario I end up with a funny story? Eating shit is good for you. If there’s something that keeps floating into your consciousness, but you’re afraid to poke it, I recommend walking towards it!

It lends a reflective and wistful tone to written communications imo…

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
