Before you label yourself as somebody who has social anxiety, just take a minute and ask yourself this:
🤔 Is that reluctance to go out just a sign that you prefer to be home?
🤔 Does the nervousness just mean that you’re more interested in deeper connections, not a frat party?
🤔 Is the uneasiness about seeing people from your past just a recognition of how much you’ve grown?
It may surprise you to know that I’m someone who feels all of this. I know, I know… It’s hard to believe because I’m so extroverted online and in my work, but in life, I’m really a homebody at heart.
Whenever my husband Chris and I pull up to a gathering, I feel both excited to see people I like, but also a weird feeling in my stomach thinking about small talk with people I don’t know as well.
It took me a really long time to embrace the fact that there’s nothing wrong with me.
I just can’t stand small talk. And I don’t care for big groups. I prefer deep conversations with a handful of people.
Drop a ❤️ if you needed this reminder as we roll into the summer months!
