Hi. By becoming more aware of what's happening inside my own mind, I somehow managed to get rid of my social anxiety. It's not that bad as it was before. I no longer get nervous around people and my beating heart is pretty relaxed. But when I'm interacting with someone, after 20 seconds or so, I'm becoming awkward. An internal feeling of awkwardness bubbles up without having control over it. I can observe that the people I talk to can sense that. They become awkward as well. It's so unpleasant! It's a strange situation to move from social anxiety to social awkwardness. Should I interact more with those around me? Do I have to be the one who opens up the conversation with someone? And are there any of you who finally overcame social awkwardness or social anxiety? Thanks in advance!
