Shindigs causing alarm within you
Opening up to others is challenging
Conversational talk makes you think they are judging
Introductions are the worst, where to go from there
Allowing yourself to breathe becomes the first step
Letting the moment unfold without pressure
Inviting small courage to sit beside the fear
Zoning out less as you ground yourself again
Eventually realizing connection doesn’t have to hurt
