Some of us feel like we don’t know what to talk about with others because deep down we think we’re stupid or not funny. A common tendency is either rambling on and on nervously or not saying anything at all.

Personally, when I was on my journey of dealing with social anxiety I discovered I must learn how to improve my social skills. Some with social anxiety don’t have a problem with social skills, whereas many others do face an issue or confusion around how to socialize.

Social anxiety has many layers and one of those is in fact your social skills.

We feel like we don’t really know how to introduce ourselves to others or what to talk about with people we may have never met or are unfamiliar around. It’s a very common story and we will address how to navigate this problem into a solution.
