I know that here I am pretty loud and obnoxious, but IRL I actually have like, really bad social anxiety. Especially when talking to guys. (Actually come to think of it it's usually only happens when I have to talk to guys I find attractive crush )

Sometimes it's fine, but other times it's like my brain does a blue screen of death and I can't even think of words to say.

Is there a way to get my brain working normal in these situations? I already taken anti-anxiety meds and they help a little, but not always.

Any tips to stop my goofy ass brain from crashing?

Extremely carefully

The upshot is that being that talented of a pickpocket will work wonders for your self-confidence!
