it happens to me a lot that i hesitate to enter places because i believe i will feel uncomfortable interacting with the people on them (just happened in my favorite coffee shop in town that i haven’t visited for months. i was waiting on the car for a while and almost decided to go away) and then i go in and have a great time and remember that i like those people and they also like me. and that insecurity gets forgotten and realized as just a construct of my mind, that feels secure in isolation safe hiding behind not being seen but my heart feels joy in the interaction with others and my voice wants to be heard open the heart quiet the mind open the heart quiet the mind and there is nothing like the interactions with others to help me remember this
