sharpening my pencil in front of a quiet class for a long time, taking it out, and seeing I sharpened it too much and have to start over while everyone eventually gets suspicious is when my social anxiety started
The most important thing to do before entering a relationship with someone is discussing expectations, boundaries & deal breakers. Make sure they’re looking for a partner and not a come up. Make sure they even know what they want fr bc if they don’t, they’re bound to switch up.
If someone expresses an issue they’re having with you or they vocalize they’re not happy in the connection and are trying to find solutions, try not to get defensive as your initial response. They’re likely trying to save the connection rather than just give up on it entirely.
