Approach anxiety - even platonically at a social event & initiation anxiety - any tips?
Hi all, Just wondered if any1 has tips on this: My approach anxiety really came to the fore on Sat night when at a social event I walked past the people at the event about 5 x. Stopped, then someone finally came up to ME and asked how I am. I did look to see who might be open for a chat, for eye contact & smiles but even THEN I got too nervous to! When I am in a convo it's much easier (although there's still things I have to remind myself - possibly neurodivergent, mild ADHD here.) And i can be quite chatty! But the approach? Aargh! (Can mingle in some situations, like more structured things or with friends' friends etc.)
I'm gonna read even more on body lang cues (who is open who is not.) And keep trying too. But any1 got any tips?
