So I know I’m not at all the only one who deals with this. But I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to just be normal around people when I actually care about them liking me. I have this same feeling of self-consciousness and flustered-ness around women I’m in love with (not just attracted to) and during job interviews, and sometimes when my performance is being evaluated. I get a mental block where I can’t think straight and when it comes time for me to speak I say very bland, dumb, or annoying things. Or I just stay quiet and make terrible conversation, if any at all. Any tips and advice would be much appreciated.
