I'm conflicted how I feel about leadership. I hate attention. Small friend groups are fun but I hate when there's a whole bunch of people looking at me. But I've been singing at open mic's lately & sometimes when a lotta people are there it's still fun because everyone's super chill & supportive. Anyway I have a lotta ideas & it's cool to think about making them happen but I always reconsider any idea I can't pull off alone, even if it's not a ton of work & not too hard to do. I don't like the attention that comes w/ leadership. Also the responsibility & pressure sucks. I prefer momentary attention over attention every time a group meets up. Basically idk if I wanna start initiatives & do leadership stuff or just stay out of it

hi I have the same issue! I'm doing it anywaysand trying to get out of my comfort zone no matter how anxious I get because I really don't want it to get worse and stop me from doing things like leadership. I think you should do the same, my anxiety isn't severe but it's definitely there, I don't know if you're in the same situation but take a chance on something!

That's what I've been trying to do but then I start something which leads to way more stressful situations I didn't think about before & I can't back out & it's rough for everyone. I know I gotta take challenges to learn but right now I'm mostly crashing & burning & dragging people down w/ me haha
