I Gotta Come Out....... (How Did You Overcome Anxiety?)

[Tunez]

I cant beat anxiety

 

[ALonelyDad]

I have been more confident since going to gym, still got a long way to go though

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

Alright, I overcame my social anxiety However, I still have anger issues because of what has happened with my mother and etc. Now, I want to make acquantances, but I don't know how. Everytime it goes good it's goes south However, I want positive people in my life. I don't want to hang around just anyone. So, if you guys had this problem how did you overcome it? Because I used to be super shy. Now, I'm vocal, but it rubs people the wrong way because I have a STRONG personality

Yes, I would like to become a nicer person, but I also have trust issues. Because people have lied to me in the past. I do plan on going back to church (maybe Catholic) because I need a good message. Pentecostal isn't my cup of tea.

Being placed in a smaller classroom full of mostly boys
And going on two hbcu tours and seeing how more fulfilling life could be around ppl who didn't actively put me down

About what? I don't like random people invading my space, why would I invade theirs?

How their day has been, the weather, sports, it all depends on the environment. If they respond negatively then its whatever just move on to the next person. I advise some of you guys to work in sales, there you will be forced to come out of your shell if you want to get payed.

My issue isn't with talking to people. It's holding acquaintances for a long period of time.

Not really. As with everything if a person wants it, the product will sell itself and/or they will ask you questions about a product and you just use ehat you know. Even if you approach them, they in your area it's easy to assume they looking to buy something. That's not the same as small talk.
