Hi All,
I don't know if anyone has this problem, when I meet people I feel like I have to initiate the conversation just incase the other person doesn't. If I decide to say little or make little effort then the other person either is ignorant or say the minimum. I used to take this personally but now I have decided that I make too much of an issue to be friendly with everyone just to feel accepted, this used to feed into my anxiety when I was at my worst in the early days which led to social phobia. This all started with moving to a new area where I knew very few people so felt I had to make an effort, I guess I feel like I have tried too hard and need to chill out and just let life drop into place!
I have decided to take a further step to my recovery, that as well as becoming more assertive and giving myself positive self belief, I am now tackling self acceptance/self assurance to make my life that bit better. I don't know if this has been the natural way of recovery of self realisation but I can feel that life is starting to click into place and I feel much better about myself.
I will continue on my fight against anxiety and I will win!
I may not change today but I can surely change tomorrow!
All thr besy everyone
