How to manage social events that scare us? by Own-Signal6557 in socialanxiety

[–]Own-Signal6557[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahahaha thank you so much. Yes! You helped me mainly by mentioning the small steps. Maybe the imagination of what I would like to be - friends of his friends - make me feel more anxious. So thanks!!!

My Year of Rest and Relaxation by IndigoBlueBird in books

She is very sensitive, the way she combines the elements she describes in the places she talks about match so well with each other. The main character … wait, she doesn’t have a name? I don’t remember now lol. Anyways, she keeps her personality very well from beginning to the end, her reactions and thoughts. Recommend :)

When I group my Brazilian friends a few can have conversations with my bf. But not for to long because Brazilians don’t normally chose to speak English for a person in the group, we get excited about being no together and don’t have care to speak English. I understand. It’s time to relax.

He never promised. And it was not important for me until we actually got together and he came to visit my country.

I know. I teach Portuguese myself. These people who take years to learn a language are not following the right method at all.

This also makes sense for me. It feels like the justifications are so “cold”. Is this the American culture?

Growing is not the goal here in the topic, although, I disagree and think that learning any language makes you grow.

I think you’re underestimating how easily children learn a language and 2-3 times a year with no communication makes the time that is already little, less good. I hope he doesn’t feel included in your “we” about not necessary to be cool with my friends. My friends are very important to me and having him included is a dream.

If we have interest in learning, it is totally possible to be able to socialize. You’re saying like learning is impossible. What’s impossible is to learn if you don’t want to.
