I used to hate it when people said the trick was to just do it until βdo it scaredβ started going around, because thatβs truly it. Life didnβt start changing until I applied for jobs with one hand in front of my eyes and a trembling hand navigating my computer mouse. Or until I said everything on my mind (in moderation) with my fists clenched and my legs weak. Or until I refused to accept that Iβd βjustβ be shy forever while also kind of being nauseous at the idea of trying to be the opposite. Two things can coexist and thatβs exactly the point of believing that you can do anything.
