This week I’ve realised I’m absolutely useless at introducing people to one another. I think it’s down a little bit to my social anxiety. My inability to produce decent small talk can affect me at work sometimes so people look at me funny. Thankfully at work I can crack on and get my head down with work I need to do as my boss doesn’t bother me.
I’d like to be a manager one day, I need to learn how to master the bs work conversations first so little baby steps ?
Its good to want to self improve by working on your insecurities but I think generally people are too harsh on themselves when judging their own social skills. I have no doubts that social anxiety is a thing and needs treatment, but I am going to be controversial and say it is a term which is very overused.
For me people dont realise that "social skills/status" applies to literally every situation. So ok you might say that you are socially nervous when chatting to colleagues at work, but what about when you are with your family/close friends? I bet you are more comfortable and arent as nervous. See, you arent doing as bad as you thought socially! Its normal for people to be nervous/anxious in different social situations. Theres probably plenty of social situations where you do alright and dont even recognise it, as you take it for granted. See! You have better social "skills" than you give yourself credit for
Its like, my brother made a point/argument that I was "socially awkward" (which some people are, and there is absolutely no shame in that) because Im awful with girls and never have (or will) be on a date. Well I also happen to be a locum pharmacist , whos job involve speaking to patients every day and discussing their condition and medication with them. I like to think I do a pretty good job at that. Is that not under the "social" scope? Are there no social "skills" involved in that? I get on very well with family and friends. Again, is that not "social" too? I go to the local store and ask for an item I cant find and end up finding it... simple... goes unnoticed... .but is that not social too? Ok fair enough, I struggle in one aspect of the social spectrum but I do fine in almost all the others, so why on gods green earth does that make me "socially awkward"?
I might be talking poo but the point is I just think when people say they are "socially awkward" are sometimes harsh on themselves by even labelling themselves as that. There are probably plenty of social situations where they feel comfortable and do ok in but never pat themselves on the back for it or even acknowledge it. Dont expect to feel comfortable in EVERY social situation because it isnt ducking happening. We are all human beings, we all get anxious from time to time (overthinking stuff and how to word what to say ect), and we all have insecurities.

It takes a real man to hold their hands up and say "Im not feeling good and I cant do this alone"
Luckily it hasnt happened to me yet, but I know at some point in my life, I will need help (career wise, mood wise ect). Life has too many ups and downs to go through it alone , without support and help , its almost impossible to survive mentally when everything is going against you

f****** christ- sounds like a nightmare
Im a trainee pharmacist, so I speak to patients who have conditions but this sounds dreadful- fair play to you for fighting through it
Also teaches me not to worry/get obsessed with trivial stuff, e.g getting rejected, studies, work troubles ect

I thought fury won by 2 rounds, but tbh, if you want the Belt, you have to take it from the holder. Cant play defensive and expect to get it given to you. Impressed with furys footwork

It's like when my Dad said, " you don't want to shave boy, it's a nightmare"
And you think, nah, I'd like to grow facial hair. But he was right.
And hes been divorced twice, and his advice has stayed consistent.
I have good facial hair haha at least:P

Doesn't always make it easier, can be harder opening up to a loved one, especially as a man, we're supposed to be the tough ones!
at least your good enough to get one

Good job you all have girlfriends and a wife or someone you can talk to. Makes a big difference, I think having a female that you can trust (Apart from my mum, I never have) can help open you up as well, help you spit it all out and not feel ashamed to ask for help

I find him impossible to listen to. He's not the brightest and when he starts insulting other fighters opponents...
I find it hard to believe a skin condition held him back as much as he claimed.
He's only insulted Wilder from what I can see
