Social anxiety 😥

this time round I’ve put myself out there and attended loads of classes and made a lovely group of friends and can say the newborn stage has felt so much more manageable and can honestly say I feel these are my people, that these are the friends I’m going to have for ever 🤣 we are all settled in our lives there’s not likely to be any big changes in life that would cause a shift in dynamic (if you know what I mean). I’m really glad I put myself and all my weird and awkwardness out there this time. So I’d say just go for it. You won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but you’ll not find out if you don’t give it a go 😀
@Lauren thanks Lauren! I’m always worried about comments I make and over analysing what I’ve said to people 😬 like I’ll make a comment that’s perfectly innocent and later on think - OMG what if they took it in a different way. I always worry that I talk too much about myself or show off or am too goofy… ahhh the list is endless 🤣 I’m working on it though. They seem like a great bunch of women and I’m hoping we become good friends as I need some 😆
This will be a long reply 🤣 Think you just sort of have to put yourself out there. When I got with my partner 11years ago I gradually moved away from the friend group I had at them time nothing bad just realised we were all at different stages. When I had my 1st (8 now) I didn’t really put myself out there was too awkward to attend classes etc alone. I had a real time frame where I had 0 friends. Again when he started school I kept myself to myself on the school yard and birthday parties but gradually as they made their own friend group I started talking more and more we’d go to the park after school together go to each others houses for play days or meet up in holidays so they could still spend time together etc. Now we go to the pub together, out for food, walks etc minus the children 🤣
