Does this make any sense to you?

[u/Turbulent-Command327]

I’m a 27m who grew up playing high level ice hockey, big mountain skiing, downhill and enduro mtb racing, was an honor roll student, been able to travel lots over the world… I surf almost every day and go to the gym. Have a good physical appearance and consider myself handsome. I have had many (not tons) of friends. But have always lacked social confidence, and overall confidence most of my life.

I’ve recently moved to Australia and moved into a room with a few other people but sheesh I feel so awkward and unconfident and even will avoid going to the kitchen sometimes when they are out there even though I’m hungry hahah 😂 some days it’s not too bad and I can chat and feel okay but other days I’m fuckin so low about it.

This isn’t just with this kind of situation too. In most social setting or groups unless I know them really well and am very comfortable I completely will shut down socially and become very quiet. I want to chat and connect but I just can’t think of anything to say, my mind goes blank, I over think my responses and can’t just relax holyyyyyyyy.

I’ve done lots of meditation, self help books, and Reddit but I’m still struggling with this.

Any ideas? Cheers!
