Social anxiety

I have always had anxiety, but it evolved into social anxiety. I think it happens to many people with anxiety if you aren't in social situations often enough. I had work before I became a SAHM a year and a half ago. Now I don't even have that and I know it's making things worse! If you have little to no practice, you do forget how to act in social situations. I have said some dumb or just plain rude things or missed social cues 🤦 I don't even think to fix it in the moment, so later I am kicking myself and obsessing over the conversations. It's very cringe! 😬

Yes, exactly. I understand 100%. I have done that, too. I don't realize it either till too late. Some people say "what you care what people think if they don't pay your bills?" but Is normal to care if I want a social life. I could sound like an oger if I stop caring

Meeeeee fashoooooo

@Clara I mean ultimately I don't care what most people think, but you have to care what friends or potential friends think. It sucks when I realize I probably just ruined an opportunity with a cool person. All I can think is that if they can't even try to understand or take what others say with a grain of salt, they must not be the friend I need. 🤷 Those that do care to hear me out when I apologize and let them know I really am trying to do better, those are my people! ♥️ That also means that I have to try to be equally understanding if they say something off putting in conversation. We all have the responsibility to be open and honest if we want meaningful friendships and relationships. It might not always be what we want to hear, but intentions matter. I try to focus on where it comes from, a kind and caring place hopefully ♥️

I definitely feel u and I have social anxiety myself!
