Do you get anxious before going out, facing large crowds or doing anything that involves other people really?
Samesies!!
For as long as I can remember, interacting with big groups of people has been a bit stressful for me. Thankfully it’s gotten better over the years as I’ve interacted with more people and developed more self-confidence.
But to this day I still get moments when I find myself overthinking about how others might be perceiving me or whether or not I’ve said the right things in conversations.
Sometimes, I literally have to psych myself up before going out and interacting with others because of how uncomfy it can get sometimes.
Needless to say, it’s absolutely exhausting.
But it doesn’t have to be. Your social anxiety doesn’t have to dictate your life!
This is why I came up with some positive affirmations to bring you confidence and peace if you struggle with social anxiety or a bit of awkwardness sometimes. I hope these help you like they help me every day.
