Does everyone have social anxiety these days?
​
I’ve noticed that whenever I meet friends or office colleagues whom I’ve known for a long time and have a good relationship with, things are kind of awkward and antisocial at first. It’s only after I start talking more, crack a few jokes, and get them to warm up that we get back into the friendly dynamic we usually have.
It’s weird because I feel like the responsibility of making things less awkward is always on me, even though I have pretty severe social anxiety myself. I’m just good at masking it. It gets really tiring having to constantly make the conversation easier and get things going. This is one of the reasons I don’t feel like meeting people or making plans anymore. It just takes a lot out of me.
