Tonight talking to a friend I thought I might give you a perspective that may help with some empathy and understanding for you in the future.

I see a lot of posts that talk about it not being someone’s fault that they have trauma but it is their responsibility to heal from it. This saying while is true really bugs me.

I was talking to someone today and what I shared with them I thought might be able to help someone else. For people who have social anxiety that is high enough that it is keeping you from going to things and connecting with people even though you desire connection, here are some things I would encourage you to do to get momentum.

You need to find the root and then ask yourself what solutions do I have and actually 👉🏻COME UP WITH A PLAN. 👈🏻When you have a plan you will see that your anxiety will drop. You now are on your way to deescalating instead of escalating. It’s either or though. It won’t just go away. You have to be proactive about it.

I’m simplifying my life and I seem to no longer have much grace for things I’ve tolerated but not loved. I’m not sure if it comes from just being in a long season of chaos and uncertainty?
