social anxiety 

Me: I feel like I didn’t put myself out there enough in that social interaction, I should have more confidence and put myself out there more next time

Me next time: why did I put myself out there that was horrifying and awkward and I talked way too much and I wish I could take it all back

@nox This was me throughout my twenties. I know unsolicited advice from randos can be creepy or come across as easier-said-than-done, so if you decide to trust me enough to read on, I really appreciate that. Ok, ready? Here it comes:

You are doing the work.

It's clear from your post here that you're doing the work and I am so proud of you. It's a long and winding road but you're walking it.

@nox Also: "Did I annoy people, were my actions inappropriate? They'll definitely hate me for this!"
