Some days and with some people, I am so effortlessly confident, and conversational.
My friends and family describe me as a “social butterfly” and someone who can talk to anyone.
I’ve also been called warm, welcoming, conversational, confident, bubbly, and funny time and time again.
For some reason, I have been SO SOCIALLY AWKWARD RECENTLY! Even with my close friends. 100% stemming from increased social anxiety.
I’ve definitely had social anxiety before but more for specific events, rather than normal conversations with people I know well.
I have even been putting myself in more social situations and starting more conversations as “practice” almost and still not my best work.
I find I’m even weirder when my boyfriend is around!? More in my head bc I don’t want him to witness my awkward.
Any tips, kind words or common experiences?
