Effort

So, I guess everything between my boyfriend and I are good. We have been talking via the internet all day and the conversation is just normal...talking about work, school and joking around. And it makes me feel a little bit better but I am still on edge. I am still worried that at any moment it is going to blow up and he is going to break up with me. I am sure that he won't because we were both just laughing about the situation, so I am sure that we are just fine.

I have had time to think about the situation today, and I think that it is going to take an effort on both our parts to make sure that we are both happy in social situations. See, we both have social anxiety, but get nervous for different and opposite reasons. So, it can be difficult to see the other person's views. But now that we are both aware of it, I think that it will just take a better effort for both of us. I would like it if sometimes he includes me in his wanderings and smoking breaks and there are some times during his breaks that I can stand behind and attempt to mingle with to get to know more people. It's hard, but it will be worth the effort.
