Recently I've adopted a phrase "it's not my best work" and I've been using it in multiple situations (drawing, cooking, or social interactions) and I find it kind of helpful actually. Especially in regards to social interactions, it allows me to step away from the interaction and say, "yeah that didn't go perfectly. Maybe I could have done that better, but that'll be for next time. That was not my best work, but I know better now how to handle it." Idk it lets me feel more free to try and maybe mess up. I don't have to be perfect.

#text #august rambles #i don't know how to explain this super well #youd think like... confirming yeah i didn't do a good job. wouldn't help you feel better about it #but since framing things like that i feel less anxiety about awkward social interactions #or if i mess up. im just like hm not my best #i guess because its more like. ah i could do better this is just an off day. a fluke. things went weird oh well #anyway if you have problems like me and social anxiety try using this phrase today!#also works well with perfectionism in art #did your art not turn out like you wanted? ahh not my best work today. shrug it off and try again if you want
