I (23M) was sitting on a bench drawing and a girl sat on the same bench, then she started talking about my drawings, I said a few words about them, but I started to feel that I was getting very nervous, and after some phrases i just stood up and walked away to another part of the park. A few minutes later I saw her heading my way again. But when she saw me her face became sad and she turned around and walked back the other way. Now i feel so awful about all this ,I didn’t mean for this to happen but it kinda did. I want to ask people any advice of how to overcome this fears so this is not happened again. For the context i didnt have any genuine converstation with girls in 8-9 years, and i didnt have this problem with males
Being nervous because it was a girl and not a guy is something you need to switch in your brain. It is a Human that wanted to speak to you. Once you adjust your thinking, the nervousness will go away. I understand people are shy, but being shy because of gender is a useless thing that will only harm your social skills & friendships. People are people. You will be ok.
Yeah you probably right, but i dont really know how to make that switch, being out of touch with opposite sex didnt do me any good and now it became hard as hell
I’ve spent my whole life being like OP. You’re right but it’s a hard thing to get over.
