Thanks everyone.
Joshbickford: I agree. Stepping out of one's comfort zone is an important part of life. I make it a personal policy of mine to do one new thing a day involving people to keep things interesting.
Colm O'Reilly: I read your "permission to fail article" and I agree with the main point. I'm pretty good at positive self talk, thankfully.
Rene_stpierre: Thanks. Hopefully this is something that I'll be able to improve on too.
PMCdonald: You know, that's an interesting point. When I have that background level of anxiety going on, I do tend to want to focus on the task in front of me so that I can get it over with. However, at the same time, it's like my IQ drops a whole lot, which isn't good.
Athena: I think you NAILED it with "your subconscious needs reassurance that everything is okay." I'm glad you understood.
