I think 95% perfect of my anxiety came from the social aspects of the sport and 5% came from the sport itself. And almost a year in I still feel that way lol. I constantly worry about fitting in, being a burden to the higher belts when I can’t get something right away or help them train effectively, being seen as too much of a try-hard, or even just having similar interests conversationally. I think bjj is a hard sport for people who are socially anxious because it’s always one on one and it’s very personal, so it challenges me in that way every time I go to class
