I'm not buying it.
I'm not patting you on the back and saying "there there"
I won't enable you to shrink away and play small. Cop out by saying "I'm shy."
It's just a defense mechanism youve developed. I can see it works very well too. Looking at other responses here.
The guy turned around and shook his head at you because maybe he can see himself in you, shaking his head and thinking "yep, that used to be me"
I'm going with the "give you a shove " method here.
I'll probably get flamed out.
But we both know and you know deep down, your just squirrelling out here.
The writing on the wall is this
Go to a different meeting, no good
Go to a different meeting again, no good
Go to another different meeting, no good
It's just your AV trying to find a way to keep you drinking.
Don't let it win, it wants you to remain shy and anxious and shrinking and small.
Go prove the AV wrong.
Best of luck
