That's admirable.

That's cool.

So I think it's all about realizing that your fears about how you're being perceived are irrational.

That can be incredibly helpful.

And from there, I say practice makes perfect, okay?

The more you do it, the more comfortable it becomes.

And you will enjoy it eventually, you know?

But anytime something's new, unfamiliar, it's a little bit uncomfortable at first.

Be patient with yourself.

Practice makes perfect.

The more you do it, the more you go out and do your own thing, the sooner you'll get comfortable with it and it'll just become second nature to you.

Trust the process.

Believe that that comfort will come.

You will one day not feel uncomfortable about it anymore.

I can almost guarantee you that.

I really believe that.

That's what's happening to me.

Like the first few times post-breakup that I went to a flea market, I went to a coffee shop by myself, I felt naked.

I was like, oh my God, this is so weird.

Like I feel, I think that there was an added layer of vulnerability because in my subconscious, I was like, I'm single.
