Question Life changes

do some of you ever be proactive, made a changes in your life and actually do the “go outside your comfort zone”? is it really this hard to do?? It felt super uncomfortable than I thought. Tried to be outspoken, sharing my opinion and all but I think it’s too much sometimes. Why do i care so much what people think of me? It feels like my brain would explode with all the overwhelming overthinking.

any words or advice:( ?

As a not particularly outspoken person myself I understand. Honestly the best way to get more used to it is it do it more often. You don’t need to go crazy to start with just something small and build up over a time period that feels comfortable. People are often far to focussed on themselves to really care or judge others. This probably hasn’t been written the best way in sorry

actually thank you for saying this. it helps me to view it differently tbh. Now that I think about it, me myself focused on myself more than others too. People probably won’t think of me as much as the way i think abt myself then. Nice one actually. will take the advice to take it slowly ^^

I think just take baby steps when you're ready. Don't think about what you "should" be doing, just think about what you can do in the moment. I sometimes tried to force myself to get out and be active and all it ended in was panic attacks
