I hate social anxiety. I wish I wasn’t so scared. I wish I wasn’t so critical of myself. I wish I could just relax and be myself. I wish I didn’t feel a constant need to be likeable. I wish I didn’t feel like an annoying burden to everyone.

I know I am good, or at least I objectively know that. I love myself. I know I am a decent person. But the moment I have to interact with someone, I become really self conscious, awkward, and overcritical with myself. I had so much potential but I was just too scared to step out and chase the opportunities. I wish I could be a charismatic person who didn’t have to think twice about every little thing.
