@litemindedtherapy: So many people commented on my last video about feeling more comfortable one-on-one than in groups to say, “I’m actually the exact opposite.” And that experience deserves its own explanation too. Some people feel more like themselves when the attention is spread out, the pressure to keep the conversation going is shared, and there’s room to move in and out of connection without it being noticed. So this one is for the people who light up in a group but suddenly feel awkward, exposed, or overly responsible when it’s just them and one other person. You’re not necessarily bad at intimacy or incapable of depth. Sometimes your nervous system just connects more easily when there’s a little more space. #socialanxiety #nervoussystem #therapytok #anxietytok #therapysession
I used to be better one on one but now I kind of prefer slightly larger groups bc it alleviates the social pressure

I'm like this, prefer to socialise in groups of 3 or more. I've never heard anyone else say it, everyone always say they prefer or are more comfortable with one on one.

I am so funny in a group! I can really make people laugh and enjoy them self, but I feel so awkward one on one. Is anyone like this?

I hear so many people say 1 to 1 is easier, so glad to hear the flip side - gives me a break to recharge and not be switched on the whole time!

yes. The group has to be small though so I still feel like I can be apart of the conversation

I noticed it’s because a lot of people expect me to carry the conversation or/and never ask me anything back. I leave feeling drained and bored. One to one with people I enjoy being around is fine but with most people I’d rather interact with them in group settings only.

i'm very introverted so a lot of people assume i prefer 1 on 1, however i do like group conversations so much more. there is no awkward silences, less pressure on you to keep the convo going, to ask questions, etc. and once i have had enough socialization i can just check out lol.
