Thank you! I do try. I am in a choir and I try and join in with things when I can. It’s just when I do the interaction part I’m concerned about how I am coming across to everyone.

I can talk to certain people, I still get nervous and worry about how I am coming across, and I still don’t like who I am when I talk to them, but I do talk. There’s other people that really throw me off balance, usually anyone in any kind of authority, for instance my choir teacher, my boss, the director of the company I work for, any fitness class instruction teachers. I find it really frustrating because others seem to be able to form decent relationships with them, whereas I see their authority as a barrier to any sort of relationship. It isn’t their fault because every single one of the people I mentioned are lovely! I know it’s coming from me which is so frustrating. I just wish I didn’t overthink it all so much, and I wished I could let the real me out somehow, I just don’t know how to do it!
