I Am Shy

I hate that I’m so shy and anxious all the time from meeting new friends , dating , interviews it’s annoying i just want to break out of It .. idk If it’s fear of being judged or what . Just over it makes me wanna isolate even more . ✌🏽😒

Same tbh, I just fake it till I make it. My heart will be hammering out of control and my palms will be sweating, but I appear confident and after sometime, the anxiety slows down a bit. :v

My housemate has the same problem, at least when she tries to meet women

Hope you find ways to cope better with that situation

How do you cope/deal@JammieDodgerHeart

@PrettyGyal23 Well this problem requires looking within.

I think many people have this deep rooted fear of being judged and generally comes from one thing, it maybe cliche but it is lack of self love.

You're thinking some thing is fundamentally wrong with you and makes you shy, confidence comes from the ability to be able to be yourself which is hard if you don't love yourself

So what I have been doing is trying to love myself. Firstly by catching the way I speak to myself and replacing those thoughts with more affirmative ones. Also by practicing self care,looking after my mental and physical health, engaging in things that really make me passionate and inspired/happy and that helps to give extra confidence. Telling myself that making mistakes is not a bad thing... even if I am a bit awkward socially I will do it anyway... because I am okay as I am...

I am a lot more confident than I used to be but still have a way to go. It's hard to love yourself but it will be a huge benefit to your life

Best of luck

Jammie
