Social Anxiety Support

Here is a mind-blower: I am happiest when I interact with people.

Crazy? I'm not sure. I used to be happiest when I interacted with people when I was younger, but then I loss confidence and self-love and that changed. However, now I feel I am almost back to that point again when I can say interaction makes me happy. What is even more interesting is that I think none of this is possible without confidence and self-love on my part. *GASP* Holy crap, I think I may be there!

Possibly speaking too soon, I really want to make this resurrected discovery real from here on out...

Go you! Its great when we notice some actual progress against SA. Try to stay motivated and keep making progress

I too have been enjoying social interaction more recently. It really does feel good when you can feel yourself improving. I find it really helps to visualise myself enjoying all social interaction and even the slightest chance that this is possible really motivates me to keep fighting my SA. Stay in the right state of mind and keep moving forwards

great! I lacked confidence in myself before too. But I kept trying to build it up over the years, and seemed to improve myself, so now I am liking it more and more when I get to speak to more people as well.
