It’s funny what you say but it has sense.
I didn’t know you cope as well with social anxiety. Oh!
My psychologist also gave me a trick to cope when I had to travel to my partner’s country. There, people are even more open and friendly than in Spain, it was Latin American and I was about to sabotage the trip because of my social anxiety. My psychs told me:,Guess that you are in one of these Venezuelan series, as an spectator. You are out of your country. They belong the place. They should have the pressure. It helped me and I only had two very hard moments when I cried as a child. But, only two bad moments in 19 days.
