I’ve been trying really hard to put myself out there and go out with my coworkers even when I feel afraid. I’ve always rejected any offers to hang out because of social anxiety, but if I really want to get better, the only way out is through. 

My coworkers (bless them) keep inviting me out anyway, I’m pretty sure they know I am an anxious wreck but I am trying to put myself out there anyway. There have been some slip ups and I still beat myself up about the smallest things, but sometimes it feels like it’s getting a little bit easier.
