Feedback is important

This is one thing that really surprises me from time to time. My mind is always racing in social situations and that always makes me feel like I'm perceived as nervous and uneasy by others.

I've been told on multiple occasions that I'm a very calm person which really catches me off guard as it's the exact opposite of what I feel like most of the time. But it's really nice to hear it

I don't know who needs to hear this but it's a good reminder that the way people perceive you is often very different from the image you have of yourself in your own head.

So if you worry that you come across as rude, arrogant, shy, or anything else, always remember to ask if there’s actually any outside feedback/evidence that supports that. If not than odds are it's bs and you can stop worrying about it
