Struggle with avoidances I am 20 now but for a long time ( also throughout Covid ) I simply avoided uncomftorable situations. Not only in speaking but other facets of my life. Anyways, now having gone so long relying on just simply not doing what is hard. I look in the face of what used to be not so bad ( saying here in attendance, introducing myself, making conversation with people, delivering information ) and I know see what used to be easy and minor as almost insurmountable. I know the answer to overcoming this anxiety is baby steps but how? I go to speech therapy but I feel like my anxiety in speaking situations isn’t being addressed. Has anyone felt similarly that when they need to do something orally like this it just feels so impossible and you would do anything to avoid it instead of doing it?
