I can’t connect to people

I am afraid of negativity and rejection from people and it’s been impossible to connect with people.

everyone is afraid of that. I feel like the benefit of connecting with someone ( even if just one person) outweighs the negative things we feel when putting ourselves out there. Also try to realize that most people don’t respond negatively to others. If you have any hobbies or interests maybe join something and then there will be people you will connect with easier. Good luck🍀

I feel the same way. I think many people do. Some

Days are a little better than others. It help to get out loads and do an activity if only walking.

try taking a walk down the street and every person you make eye contact with, give them a smile. It’s contagious and they will smile back. Send out positive vibes, it really works. From there, you will build confidence, but for now, take these baby steps, I believe in you
