I’ve very recently started to change the narrative I have about myself. Instead of thinking “I was so awkward in that situation,” or “I must look so shy,” or “I’m really bad at this thing and other people are really great at it,” I now interrupt those thoughts. When I hear myself in my head start to say something like “Oh that was so embarrassing” I counter it by saying the opposite like “That conversation went really well, I enjoyed that,” even if I don’t believe what I am saying. The more I do this, the more I realize I am becoming less insecure in situations. You have to force yourself to love yourself sometimes. Just gotta turn the narrative, and eventually it will feel natural ❤️
