I used to have a hard time working with people, but I noticed that with every successful communication with someone, and in general facing with whatever fear I had involved with it, it all became much more easier bear. I'm not sure if it was some sort of social anxiety or something else, but people and what I thought their opinion of me was, as well my own too harsh expectations used to beat me up so hard that I was paralysed most of the time.
I noticed something about you. You seem to look happier, more content and somehow open in recent pictures that you've posted here. I think that whatever you are doing, being that meditation or several other things, you look as if it works good for you.
