I'm 26 now and I used to just be emotionless to fight anxiety. But now that I want to change and be more authentic and nurturing my own emotions I find myself being too open about my anxiety to people I want to get close to, like asking them if they are only interested in something else rather than being genuinely interested in me.

And I hate it, I really don't want to keep acting like this. 

Anyone can please teach me a strategy to not blurt out stupid things to other people? 

I know the question is a bit silly and that I should just shut up, but Idk I feel like the doubt literally eats me in the moment.
