Default being the centre of attention

im confy with people looking at me.

i decided put all my effort and all my focus into overcoming the self conciousness aspect of SA (and forget about the rest, relationships etc...) and try to overcome it.

for about 5 motnhs now ive been changing my beleifs ont he inside and taking actions to get confy being the centre of attention and it looks like ive completely overcame this aspect of SA and that im transformed for good.

i used to quiver whenever anyone looked at me. just walking down the street was a challenge with all the cars and buses going past and everyone looking at me out of their windows but now i love being the centre of attention, im completely confy with it and feel like my behaviour in that area is now automatic, i dont have to put any effort in

its took 5 motnhs but its payed off

I used to love it but now I loathe it, I realised ever since the day after my cousins wedding which was my birthday and everyone decided to sing happy birthday too me, I was wishing more than anything to disappear completely rather than be sat there with a bright red face,

Well done! It's always encouraging to hear about other people who are getting better.

Hopefully I can get to this point sometime too. I'm definitely trying my hardest that's for sure..
