reframing social interactions
lately i've been paying attention to how i feel when i feel 'out of place'. i feel smallll, stressed, i don't know what to do being out there. When somebody comes up to me, I observe that I can talk just fine. That observation made me realize: i'm not scared of people per se. I'm scared not knowing what to say. What to do. The kind of fear that leads to me rambling when silence ensues. Because I feel silence is bad. Why can't we be silent.
