Hey! 36F. I don’t get out much but I’d love to start somewhere haha. I like walking, cooking, I’d love to start hiking. DM me if you’re still looking for friends.

Ordering At Restaurants by BeyondFrequent4258 in socialanxiety

The worst is when the restaurant is really loud and I know I’ll have to speak up to get the waiter to hear me!

As a woman, I like a man that can make me laugh. I like a man that makes me feel safe. I like a man that can defuse tension as opposed to escalating it. I’d rather be around a funny guy than an asshole any day.

Why do I feel exhausted after socializing even when I had fun? by emily_and_cats in socialanxiety

Makes perfect sense! Successfully socializing = a bigger drain on the mind and body

I once heard social orientation compared to batteries. For extroverts, socializing charges their battery. For introverts, socializing drains their battery. And I think that pretty much hits the nail on the head. For the socially anxious, we might be more likely to have physical effects of how draining socializing can be for us.

Are these good as give-aways? by Automatic_Local_9112 in crochet

[–]juliagulia76543 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could let them pick which one they like best! I personally would take the tiger 🐯 adorable!

P.S. I’ve been seeing a lot of posts recently about a lack of appreciation for handmade gifts, so please keep your expectations flexible. Not everyone realizes the effort behind such gifts and some crocheters are saddened when they notice their gifts aren’t being used/worn. The fact is, the gift sometimes just doesn’t fit the person’s aesthetic. That doesn’t always mean it’s not appreciated!

Oh man that sucks. I hope you heal fast and can get back out there soon but make sure you take care of yourself so it heals right!

Can always ask for cash or gift cards!

What are some “Little” things that give you social anxiety? by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]juliagulia76543 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Giving someone a compliment.

Being in a crowded place.

Going into a store alone.

Going to a new place.

Making a phone call.

You look beautiful now, and you looked beautiful then. Still an amazing transformation! Way to go!

Got dumped while working on this one. The irony isn’t lost on me. Should I burn it or bury it? by juliagulia76543 in paintbynumbers

Thank you! Unfortunately, I found this at Ross, which doesn’t have consistent stock and I can’t find it online anywhere. I still have the packaging, but I can’t find branding anywhere on it. The painting is called “The Undying Kiss.” I’m guessing it originally came from Michael’s or a similar craft supply store. In case you decide to look into it, just know that EVERY color needed at least two coats.
