To add to this: Start small if it’s too daunting and go from there.
Sometimes steps you want to take are a bit too ambitious. First try smaller steps to make the big step not so big anymore.
Go and ask your crush out? HUGE STEP.
Just talk to them and make small talk, maybe also a bit too big?
Send them a cute message on socials or leave a note? Be creative.
What also helps for me is to voice my anxiety.
To my friends or to the one you’re experiencing it with. “Okay so I am super nervous” already relieves me from a ton of pressure.
It changes the dynamics and creates room for compassion. Let them help you.
