Sometimes I feel like I don't know what to say, and I get so stuck on saying the wrong thing. Always worried I'll say something I shouldn't or that I said something I shouldn't have. I trip on my words, my thoughts, my emotions and my actions. How what I say, feel, and do will be interpreted, because I care about other's thoughts and their feelings so much. Especially if it's someone I care about. I freeze, I apologize, i say I hope I didn't upset you, or i'm not trying to tell you what to do, or I didn't mean this or that..anxiety follows me everywhere..I'm afraid to be myself..I'm afraid to be misunderstood and i'm afraid to hurt others when I don't mean to

How do I be myself when I'm afraid of doing or saying the wrong thing? I need to give myself room to make mistakes instead of beating myself up for them. I'm human. I'm not perfect. I'm going to hurt people sometimes..
