you’re in your 20s/30s… why do you STILL feel like an awkward teen?
Be honest with yourself for a second…
You thought by now, socializing would feel natural.
That you’d finally be confident, effortless, and just know what to say.
But instead?
You still overthink.
You still feel out of place.
You still replay conversations in your head, cringing at every awkward moment.
And the worst part? It feels like you’re the only one still struggling.
(But you’re not… and here’s why.)
You ever tell yourself you need a drink before going out just to “loosen up”?
Or that you have to do a few social challenges before talking to people?
Or that you just need momentum before you can actually feel normal in conversations?
Yeah… that’s not confidence. That’s a crutch.
And the worst part? Every time you do it, you’re reinforcing the belief that you’re not enough on your own.
How You’re Tricking Yourself (Without even REALIZING It)
I used to be the same way.
I’d be like, “Okay, I just need to say hi to three people first, then I’ll feel normal.”
Or
“Lemme just take a shot first, and THEN my real personality will come out.”
Bro. What kind of logic is that?
Imagine if you had to “warm up” just to be yourself.
Or needed “liquid courage” just to act like… well, YOU.
If your confidence only shows up after a drink or a ritual, is it even real?
The Consequences You Don’t See
Here’s where it gets scary.
One day, you’re gonna show up to a party, a date, or a big opportunity where your “crutches” aren’t available.
- No alcohol to numb the nerves.
- No warm-up conversations to build momentum.
- No easy outs.
And you’re gonna freeze like a Windows XP computer.
Because deep down, you never actually built real confidence—you just borrowed it.
So what happens?
You avoid.
You hesitate.
You tell yourself, “I’m just not in the right mood today”—when in reality, you’ve been avoiding the real work all along.
And worst of all? You’re still stuck in the same cycle years later.
The Hard Truth (That Nobody Talks About)
Listen, I’m not saying to go full monk mode and never have a drink or pump yourself up before socializing.
But if every time you step into a social situation, you need to “hack” your way into confidence… you’re not actually confident.
And that should scare you.
So here’s the real fix:
🔹 Let yourself be uncomfortable. Stop running from the awkwardness and actually sit in it. It won’t kill you.
🔹 Stop treating conversations like a gym workout. You don’t need a warm-up set just to be yourself.
🔹 Face your fear without the training wheels. The only way to trust yourself is to prove you don’t need a crutch.
Yeah, it’ll feel weird at first.
Like trying to walk after skipping leg day for a year.
But that’s exactly how you break free.
So now, ask yourself…
What’s the crutch you keep holding onto?
