Hey Mom, I had a conversation and didn't overthink it after

I have social anxiety but today I had a 20 minute conversation with a friendly acquaintance of mine. I even made a few jokes they laughed at, they seemed to enjoy the conversation too, and I didn't writhe in anxiety as I usually do after it. It felt successful and that's really special for me, it's hard for me to talk to someone without feeling like the most awkward person ever. I'm proud of myself :)
