Just keep listening. No pressure. Do you hear others who share on your wavelength who might make a good sponsor? No pressure there either.
Here's what I would share: "It's hard for me to share. My problem is I'm self conscious as to how I look because what you see isn't me. Then when I try to share, my mind is flooded by what everyone else wants to say that my words are jumbled up. I'm trying to make my way back."
Then just say "Thanks for letting me share."
I think that's a good starting point. Just say exactly what you feel. No one is there to judge.
