I’m early 30s and always been a bit of an awkward, self conscious person.
Yesterday I had an event with some people I hadn’t seen for many years (distant family if it matters) so I decided to make a bit of an effort - hair done, make up, dress and small heels…
For once I felt good about how I looked until I arrived and everyone else was wearing jeans and trainers and I got some strange looks. It immediately put me back in to the awkward, uncomfortable mindset and I couldn’t relax all day.
I have another event next week with friends this time and I’m already considering not going for fear of the same feelings returning.
Any tips on changing this mindset??
