i struggle with social anxiety and always feel like i might be “intruding” on a conversation, even when my friends are having it right in front of me. this leads to a lot of awkward silent standing around, which i know is worse. do you just… join and start talking? is that rude?
i know i have to initiate more, i know that taking the first step is the biggest hurdle to connection, but i literally don’t know what to say or do #relationships source
