Hello, I have been struggling with this for as long as I could remember. I been embarrassed and felt hopeless many times. Sometimes i wonder what the heck is wrong with me? I hate being put on the spot. I freak out and my anxiety kicks in. For many years i hated myself because I didn’t know how to ask for help. I found this group tonight and I’m so thankful to have found it because now i know that I’m not the only one suffering from this . I thank you all very much for the advice and the stories. There’s nothing wrong with us 😊 we just panic and we accidentally let it control us but just remember stay calm and don’t rush yourself and little by little it will get better. Sometimes i just start with My name is .... or ask them for their name first then I’m not as nervous to say mines.
