My social anxiety makes me either shut down or talk everyone’s ear off and I think it’s pushing people away
My fight-or-flight response gets triggered in most social conversations. Because of this, I often either zone out, avoid eye contact, fake-smile, and fumble my words OR once I get comfortable, I overcorrect and talk too much, saying almost whatever comes to mind.
Both extremes tend to push people away.
I have ADHD, so that’s likely part of what’s driving this, and I really want to work on managing it better
