Social Anxiety and Awkwardness 

We're all a little awkward😊 Sometimes we realize we're just taking ourselves too seriously.... why can't we always feel confident and outgoing? It's because none of us are truly introverts or extroverts, we are all Ambiverts, depending on environment and Circumstance. ❤ if you would like to support my channel: www.patreon.com/carpo719 To check out my podcast: 15-minute-free-thinking.simplecast.com/ You all have a wonderful day now

It was good to see the Columbia and Mt Hood again. Haven't been to Washington in decades. Thanks for all your videos. Hope you enjoyed you day with the family. Take care

Man, leaving my apartment is entering a world where anything and everything can happen. My main armor is remembering that fear and excitement are really the same feeling, depending on the narrative I choose to agree with. Thanks and peace, Joshua 🙂

I struggle with this everyday. I get into my head too much.

Most of the time I want to leave my house, especially during the sunny days of summer, but I'm overthinking it because I know my anxiety will get crazy and the idea of enjoying myself will quickly fade away as soon as I'm outside. But we have the right to enjoy ourselves. Sometimes it feels like I'm scared of taking space, but I'm allowed, if I'm alive, it means I'm allowed to be here

I appreciate this video man.

I enjoy seeing you as a philosopher just talking and enjoying life. Had a big social event coming up today, great video!

Carpo doesn't know me, but he's helped me so much throughout the years. His content matters more than he knows. Thank you

One funny thing I’ve recently discovered that helps me with my anxiety is wearing sunglasses in public. When I know people can’t see into my soul, I feel like I can be myself more. I’ve actually been making conversation with strangers since I started wearing them. Such a simple thing can make a big difference lol.

That kick at the end rung like a gong to me

Stage fright....when I I feel it, it generally means something cool is ahead, but there's some kind of obstacle in the path. Probably of my own making

2:26 It's odd I like small talk. I'm pretty good at it. The nice aspect of small talk for me is that I genuine in small talk, i.e., I am interested in the life of person I am talking to. I believe I've written this before my dad just the same, it took me awhile to uncover the small talk skill I have.
