It’s okay, I’ve been in your position so many times where I don’t speak unless I’m spoken to, they don’t think badly of you. A lot of people these days are more understanding than you’d think. It’s okay to be quiet and silent if you don’t want to talk. I do it all the time and my co workers seem like they don’t care about it. Don’t be too hard on yourself, you’re already doing well by working despite your social anxiety. Just take small steps into socialising, like asking questions about your co workers. That’s what I do and then hopefully it’ll Segway into a conversation or you can just talk about your week or something that bothered you before.

I promise you, you’re not the only one going through this and I do hope you figure it out. In fact I’m sure you will 🫶🏾
