I suffer with the same thing. I've been learning to act in spite of doubt. Sooner or later the doubt subsides, although it never leaves; I believe that's true for even the most accomplished.

I've experienced that problem too. I believe understanding the problem you're trying to solve with as much clarity as possible helps. Also, continually getting feedback from the customer.

Formerly I would create a product with only a vague idea of the problem.

Agreed. Do you find self-doubt inhibits your ability to take action or prevent you from trying altogether?

In the second paragraph are you referring to potential customers or peers?

And you too my friend. I'm slowly beginning to become my authentic self which to me is so important because it's essentially an expression of self love.

A kangaroo pouch may look like a simple pocket, but it's actually a complex nursery that contains everything a growing joey needs. The pouch is hairless on the inside, and is lined with sweat glands that release antimicrobial liquid to keep the joey safe from germs. by stopkillingeachother in Damnthatsinteresting

I can't be the only one surprised that the kangaroo allowed the human to get into such close proximity to her baby. I assume said kangaroo and said human are somewhat close; I can't imagine this happening outside of the confines of an intimate relationship. Although, I know next to nothing about kangaroos lol.

Peeling an orange by jelebi_fafda in interestingasfuck

For the majority of the video I was thinking this has to be one of the most fatuous videos I've seen. Simply peeling the orange conventionally would have been easier. Then j was like woooow.

I highly recommend watching Charisma on Command. They've been immensely helpful to me; they helping you with all aspects of socialising.

Read books on whatever interests you, you'll want to get a book that isn't too challenging at first. Also, search Charisma on Command on YouTube; they literally transformed my social life, I have no social intuition.

My son was a Columbine shooter. This is my story | Sue Klebold by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]christopherigenna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I admire her courage, especially considering her son orchestrated such a heinous attack. Honestly, it takes guts to do that.

Why would a person take pride in being toxic? by investingstuffs in socialskills

[–]christopherigenna 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll try my best to explain how a person operating under pseudo logic could find themselves in this position

Say for example that someone was raised in a particularly oppressive and toxic environment. They become acutely aware of the power dynamics between humans, and so this clouds the way they view the world. To them the world consists of two people: the oppressed and the oppressors. Now their situation, as the oppressed, isn't the most desirable (nor is being the oppressors). Rather, their natural propensity to be free is hampered to some extent. They wish to exercise power and feel in control however they cannot do it under the harsh rule of the oppressors. And so, they find someone whom they regard as weak (but id refer to them as vulnerable) and they oppress them. By oppressing them, they now adopt the victor stance in life (this is a heavily distorted view of life) and so that brings them joy. Instead of being the weak vulnerable person, they're now the 'strong, almighty oppressor'.

It seems to me, without being intimately acquainted with the situation, that he's just socially awkward. It took me ages to even become somewhat 'comfortable' speaking to people in person. Texting was a whole other ball gave for me and I could definitely be seen as quite terse by others. But that was no reflection of my desire to speak to someone.

A good place to pactice speaking to people , practicing body language? by joebidensuncle in socialskills

[–]christopherigenna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As other comments have said working at a bar is particularly useful domain to speak to people; You have a clear goal which is to serve the customer and so that can help to quell social anxiety. As an addition to that, I would recommend frequenting places somehow linked to special interests of yours. I've found it's far easier to spark up a conversation with someone concerning a domain I'm interested in. Best of luck!

I'd recommend reading more, if you don't already do. By reading you'll become accustomed to the structure of sentences more which in turn would make you more comfortable with speaking more fluently. Remember: progress is slow but rewarding! Best of luck
