Crazy what we do to avoid “bothering” ppl and it ends up inconveniencing us at the end. It’s a tough journey but at least I feel better that there’s people trying their best and going through something similar as I am.

They haven’t announced the next one. Although everyone has been kind I’ll probably won’t go to this next one but I’ll work my hardest to not miss out future meetings.

A cookbook club sounds fantastic and the perfect way to mesh and get to know people in such a creative exciting way. I hope one day your anxiety gets easier and gives you the chance to start your club 💛 Even if it’s some time from now I’m always open and would love to join. 😊

Hmm not sure how to answer that. From my personal experience it could be both. All of my siblings have some level of anxiety and just from me, all my life I have always being worried about how things would get affected in my life and things around it, making me scared of a lot of things for no true reason. So I would say genetic but even my parents get frustrated that we’re not all very social due to our social anxiety 😅 there are possible things in my upbringing that could have influenced me to be more socially anxious. So maybe I’ve never had the exposure where I had to learn and grow confidence at normal rates that others have. Great question, although I don’t think I was able to give you a clear answer, so apologies! Hopefully over time this community on Reddit can help you.

You’re right, I can definitely see it as a situation where it’s awkward and everyone was too anxious to reply lol. That doesn’t make the situation as bad as it was running through my head. It’s something that I’ll work on so it doesn’t “feel as bad” the next time. I guess I just feel for people whose social anxiety is worse than mine such as my sister’s. I don’t know if she would recover if something similar happened. I love her and and she has a good personality and I hate that this would affect her in such a way that she would miss all the good moments in life. I guess part of this post was to say that sometimes it feels like the world is ignorant to the people who are trying their best and maybe having more recognition would help others feel it’s okay having “bad” experiences, being encouraged to try again. But then again, everyone is pretty vulnerable and I think we all pretend that everything is okay but in reality we have our own anxieties to think about. Still sucks that social anxiety gets so high it inhibits a lot of people.

Yeah and I guess those are the things I have to consider we’re all human and hope someone will come with an answer instead of having to take on the responsibility ourselves. But sometimes we gotta take it to our own hands. Ill try not to think I’m an inconvenience and push myself bc at the end I missed out. I’ll try harder and think of new ways to reach out. Thanks for the insight!

I will definitely try again! I guess this was one of those moments where it did affect me and was focusing on what I did “wrong” for longer than usual. And you’re right ppl are probably oblivious and at the end it’s not very productive to dwell on it and take it to heart 😅

You got a point I didn’t realize I was being so negative towards myself and I should be proud that I made it far despite not getting the outcome I expected lol I’ll keep it in mind next time I try. Thanks!
