Social Anxiety

I wonder the same thing lol taking CBD helps me a little bit, but I’ve had to stop temporarily because I’m on the job search again 😭 but there’s been a couple times where I want to go out but end up having to go back home because I overthink and it leads to an anxiety attack. I’ve been getting better over the years. It’s so hard, but I found that going to places I enjoy instead of forcing myself to go somewhere like a bar or a club. Finding kid friendly events helps also because my kids will meet another friend and then I can casually meet their mom. One year I took them both trick-or-treating and ended up walking around awkwardly with those other girls dad while the kids went with each other to all the houses. The dad was nice, but I just don’t really click right away with men that I don’t know. lol

I have had social anxiety all my life and still suffer from it to this day. But lately I've been putting myself in social situations so that I can get use to it. I think the only thing you can do is get out of your comfort zone and at least try.

My coping mechanism is pretending to be really confident, and just winging it. Or when I have to leave the house, I’ve literally gotta get ready and go, no over thinking it! The minute I start faffing around I get myself into a state.

Hope this helps x

So I mean, I said all of that, but really what I mean to summarize is that I am here looking for tips also
😂 and yeah, example will be for me is I just talk way too much when I’m nervous 😆
