  3. I’m going to stop using profanity. I’m going to more quality small talk. I’ll try to stay engaged in small talk conversations a bit longer

  4. I would like to challenge myself to have longer conversations with people who I feel uncomfortable around (strangers, people with power over me). I tend to cut these interactions short because of a feeling of awkwardness or lack of something to say.

  5. Goal: My goal is to meet new people out of my comfort zone , make new friends. Though it isn’t easy then I promise to let go of my fears and feeling that I can’t be loved.

  6. Listen to friends and people that I’m close to when they speak very carefully without getting lost in thoughts about “me”. Prioritizing deepening focus in them and be curious for feeling less anxious and “in my head” during a conversation that every f*cking human being does normally. My social anxiety has been my weak point for all my life, and it’s about time to change that!

  8. I’m joining a run club next weekend. I want to enjoy myself and feel included. I want to practice not over-sharing or shutting down, and leave the little voice that tells me their smiles are fading and they dislike me already for later, or never. I’ll consider the meeting a success if I can maintain a casual conversation with at least one person and get some clubmates’ socials.
