If you have social anxiety then you have done so well. Sounds like you worked on yourself so hard. Be proud of yourself. In your defence, if your “character was horrible” then give yourself a break. You must have been even younger than 15yo, so still sooooo young. These are difficult years, when one is still trying to find one’s feet in the world. Little life experience. Of course, one would then not be that “Interesting”. You haven’t had time yet! Haha
Just to clear up, don’t change yourself for other people!! Simply add to your character so you have more things to tell, build on your existing hobbies and experiences and have a great day!!
Hey Finn, this is the INTRODUCTION to developing social skills. Youre hitting all the important markers! I wish somebody sat me down when I hit my teens and offered this kind of guidance! I know you said this, but pay attention (at those parties we never got invited to!) to the people you like or respect, how they impress you, how do they use eye contact, what vibes do you pick up on? You will come up with your own approach. Some may put you off because they seem phony! And like you said it is all in the service of finding the YOU you're most at ease with. Thanks again, man 🤗
