Hide and seek is over kids - Welcome to the mess #12

littlehappymess

Hello everybody, I hope you're all WELL!
This episode is about social anxiety and how I kept up on making excuses on how I avoided meeting people or social events.
When the Corona crisis started, I felt all goofy with all the different measurements and became an awkward penguin (Who knows the 9gag meme?), never knowing how to behave.
I was scared to leave the house but made up reasons to justify my behaviour e.g. "I prefer homeoffice anyway" "I hate people, so that's okay".
When I did not face what I was scared off, the situation started worsening, like building up a huge pile of anxiety loaded stuff.
So I will tell you what helped me and what I've learned from this.
Here is the book I recommended, that really helped me dealing with anxiety: "The only prayer you need":

Get comfortable with being uncomfortable. You ROCK! Enjoy the episode.
Lotsa love, Nina.
