I need help improving my frame. Here’s my problem. I am too afraid to actually be myself. I care too much about other’s opinions and look for validation/act in a way that I feel will make other people want to be around me. I feel people can sense this “fakeness” I show. I feel I have a bit of social anxiety that triggers especially when I’m in groups of people. I can also sense my body language a bit nervous sometimes when I talk to people and because of this it makes other people nervous as well. I know this because when I drink, all of a sudden I start doing me and I get more talkative and people see me more genuine (liquid courage). I just don’t want to repel people and it is hard for me to get close with people friendship wise and maintain the friendship with friends/acquaintances. I’m thinking of going monk mode and have recently started meditation. Any tips you have for going monk mode/any reading or video material that’ll help out?
