Spring Break Reflection
As a result of my recent spring break excursions, I’m really starting to feel huge improvements on the social anxiety front. I’ve begun to realize after conversations with people how calm I’ve been. I haven’t freaked out when in uncomfortable situations and I haven’t felt the usual discomfort of not knowing what to say.
In terms of my anxiety goals, I already seemed to have knocked out 1) Speaking audibly and 3) Holding conversations. I have also noticed that I am more comfortable greeting people (though this is still a struggle), so I figure I can continue to focus on goal #2.
Goals 4) Sending invitations and 5) Making phone calls are still a huge struggle. I’m still figuring out ways to go about tackling these issues. Goal 6) Making physical contact is difficult to practice since I have to be with people I feel comfortable around, but more so people who also feel comfortable around me. I’m going to keep working at the others before trying to do much about that particular goal.
Only 1 month and 20 days until my goal of conquering anxiety is up. And though I am still wondering where I’m going to be living and how I’ll support myself come the end of this time period, I have high hopes about my social anxiety!

This really resonates with me, because I am working on the same things. I don’t think that my social anxieties are as deep as yours, but I understand completely. I truly hope that you are able to reach your goal!
Thanks Katherine for your support. I have come a long way, but it’s difficult to get out of such a deep hole.
Best of luck to you as well!
