      I was literally the every guy in the comment then this past week I went to a totally new type of music festival and got out of my comfort zone and I have a prospective new friendship/relationship already and made tons of new friends to make plans with for the winter! Sometimes it just takes getting out of your comfort zone, but as a super socially anxious person, I know how hard that can be.

        When people say “be yourself” they mean don’t fake your personality. You can be genuine about your personality while still putting forth an effort to improve yourself physically.

          I mean you should also always be putting in effort to improve yourself emotionally and intellectually as well.

            If the comment I was replying to mentioned something related to emotional/intellectual growth then I would’ve mentioned those.

          People have low tolerance for being anxious and lacking confidence. You just get walked over or declared safe to be shitty to as soon as social weakness is seen.
