What's a social situation you used to avoid but can now manage?

Voted for speaking up in meetings. It's still hard but I can actually do it now without my voice shaking the entire time. A year ago that would have been unthinkable!

phone calls for me. still hate them but i can do them now when i have to.

Ordering food for me. I used to only go to places with app ordering or self-service. Now I can order at the counter without rehearsing my sentence fifteen times. Still rehearse it about three times though.

Interesting that small talk with colleagues is winning. I think that's because it's something we have to face every single day so there's more opportunity to practise.

Attending social events is still really hard for me. I can manage work things but optional social stuff? I still avoid most of it. Something to work on.

Reading all these responses makes me realise how much progress this group has made collectively. Every one of these is a situation that used to feel impossible!

We should do a comparison poll in six months and see how the answers shift! Would be so motivating to see the progress.
