What to do in this situation?
I used to have really bad social anxiety.
I have made a commitment to start talking in a loud, clear voice.
So today, this guy next to me kind of leaned over and asked what the math homework was. I started to say, “It’s page 43 in the workbook I think…” when I realized that he was asking the person across from me, who totally realized that I had just spoken when I wasn’t involved in this in the first place.
This happens a lot, not just once or twice.
And it’s awkward because you can’t always just laugh it off, so sometimes I start out saying a word and then abruptly stop.
How do you know when someone is talking to you? Sometimes it is weird to look up or whatever and pause because then people think you’re slow. Ugh. I wonder if this bothers anyone else.
good for you. talking in a loud, clear voice is an excellent way to project and build confidence.
if you’re ever unsure whether someone is talking to you, try saying “I beg your pardon?” or go ahead and address them by name.
it might be awkward, but who cares? you should be proud of the progress you’ve made against your anxiety.
