Yeah, it is. But it gets easier over time. I have setbacks sometimes where I need to withdraw, and then I always have to somewhat restart things.

The challenge is to just keep going out anyway. I might feel like absolute s***, but I go out again anyway. And I try my best. I rarely think it's good enough, but at least I know I'm not quitting.

And I found learning how to fake things like confidence helps a lot. If I ACT like I'm fine, then I'm less likely to have attention drawn to me.

Thanks for this!
