Exposure Therapy

The more that you post, and the more that you click that little plus button at the bottom of the screen, the easier it's gonna get to stop caring about what everybody else thinks. Confidence usually doesn't show up first. You build it by doing the thing. You post the video and you feel awkward. Then you post another one and you still feel awkward. Then after a while, you start to realise something. Okay, I'm okay. Nobody died. The world didn't end. This is exposure therapy. Period. And the other thing? Most people are not thinking about you nearly as much as you think that they are. And that's just the truth. Listen, you don't need another trick. You don't need better lighting. You don't even need to wait until you feel brave. You just need reps. You need to keep showing up until posting feels normal. That is how you get out of your own head. That is how you stop giving other people's opinions so much power. And then one day you're gonna look back and just laugh about how scared you were to start. Because eventually you're gonna look up and realise that those opinions that you were so scared of weren't important enough to keep you from building the life that you knew you wanted.
