I’m so weird tf- I’m open about talking about myself in front of quite a number of ppl but simply asking someone how they’re doing gets me so nervous and scared that when I asked like 4 ppl in one day how they’re doing I had a nightmare later that night about what they might say and I woke up so scared

I mean- I had nice replies in return but seriously I get out of my comfort zone for once and socialize with ppl I normally don’t talk to and then I start panicking smh

And here I am complaining to no one at all about my personal problem- not that anyone even cares or asked plus the fact this nightmare was weeks ago; but it just somehow made its way back to my mind today

I guess kinda like an explanation of why I don’t talk to anyone very much, not that I dislike anyone here or that I’m selfish or anything because I’m only really comfortable talking to my besties

U mean irl? If so, me too
Not as much as u tho, i would talk with ppl and then be thinking of how retarded i was acting infront of them and what they would be thinking about me but i learned to not care about that anymore and sooo- im still pretty weird but at least im getting better at communicating with ppl and i believe that ill be more social soon as i continue

So all u need to do is- dont be scared of talking with ppl and don't overthink about every single thing u said or don't even think about the conversation at all, and with time you will be able to talk with anybody normally, just don't be scared nobody's gonna bite u xD

Honestly I just act like this anywhere- I can barely write a single message on someone’s profile xD but yeah I try not to think about it, I’m used to being way into my mind all the time so it’s a hard habit to break, though thanks for the advice, I appreciate it <3

Same, trust me i had the same problem, sometimes it takes me 15 mins to think of a good answer that doesn't sound stupid, i also used to not talk with anybody at all even if i needed something i was too shy to ask for it, i know exactly what u mean and ik its hard but you need to try, you can't just continue this way, u can go through this maeg i believe in u

Relatable, I couldn’t get myself to ask my parents for something when I needed them a lot of the time, cuz around a month ago I missed an assignment that required me to talk to my parents and I just let it pass because I couldn’t get myself to ask for their help- obviously they got mad xD but thanks for the encouragement, you’re a great friend
