School Anxiety
Last year I decided I was going to go to school for cosmetology. Unfortunately I had to drop out due to issues at the time. I told myself I would be back by July (of last year). Unfortunately there wad a tragedy in my life that completely haulted it. I decided to go back but the anxiety I have is through the roof. It's the same school just a new location, but I won't know anyone there not even the teachers. I worry about messing up someone's hair (because they can be NASTY) or just not being able to do what they ask. Even now I'm having anxiety just thinking about it. I'm good with hair, and I know it. But having To talk to strangers alone is hard for me. I feel s huge factor may be confidence issues and I dont known how to go about calming down about this. The conflict in me is awful.
@Jbenner081213 I believe the most important thing is that you know you are talented, don't worry about talking so much, let your work do the talking, don't push yourself, people is there for their hair right, but little by little as you win confidence I believe you will losen up and you will talk more and it will come out naturally, just baby steps, hang in there :)

Thank you. That's the exact approach I plan on taking.
@Jbenner081213 Hello! I understand that your anxiety is causing issues for you at college, but keep in mind that you are there and working every day bettering yourself! :) Like you said you know what you are doing, so take a deep breath and get stuck in on your persons hair cut, you'll do great! im sure :) also maybe treat the person like you know them and that may also help!
