When I was 18 I was at the library and I noticed some dude discretely looking at porn on his phone which I chuckled at. I then watched him get up and go to the bathroom and thought nothing of it. 5 minutes later he came back and I realized how little I fucking cared that this random guy just took out his horniness in some public bathroom. From then on whenever I felt anxious regarding a social gathering or going in public I just thought of that moment and how little I fucking cared and I manage to overcome the fear

I talk more since I remember this guy on a band playing and not getting much reactions. Now everytime there's awkward silence I feel like it's one of those moments so I just decide to say something.

Turns out virtually never it ends up being awkward.

I just sit in it, breathe it in, bathe in it
