Birthday party
I went to a birthday party today
My sons classmate who turned 5
He was fine ,played had fun
But I didn't I spoke to a mother for a while
But after ..after no one spoke to me ,iv suffered from anxity and have no real idea how to talk to ppl ,all my life I was just there ppl saw I was alone and no one came over
I dont know how to I guess socialise I'm not a child anymore
Where it's Hay I like barbie do you
And you start playing
Now I have no idea how to start a conversation with someone I don't know unless I have a opener I can use
But then the conversation kinda dies out and I'm left feeling stupid and awkward
Like iv done something wrong when I haven't
My anxity is my biggest killer
It destroys me ,when it shldnt
It's been one of my biggest challenges and continues to be at 42

It's a hard battle to fight and tbh everybody has anxiety, it can grow or heal in seasons. Practice your confidence, like a muscle, just talk to people like they are friends or family you've known for years. Eventually it'll get easier. The more you let the anxiety win, the harder it is to break that mindset you are anxious. Find ways to create this new person of who you wish you can be. You are confident and you can break the cycle
Girl your brave to even go my anxiety so bad I wouldn’t have went lol
Fair play for even going and trying to start a conversation. Anxiety is such a hard thing to deal with. I can totally relate. Please feel free to message me. Always happy to chat x
