I'll just embarrass myself. Better to keep quiet and be cool. All these people have more important things to do. Take a moment to write down any negative self-talk you may have, and then rewrite those statements into positive ones. I'm enjoying mastering a new skill.
Small talk is a great way to get to know new people.
I want to extend myself to other people, and know that the most valuable thing I have to offer is myself. If I'm open and honest, I'll feel good about myself and so will they. We're all busy, but everyone enjoys connecting with other people. I'm a valuable, likable person. Extending myself is a gift that others appreciate.
