I always forget people’s names in conversations because I’m so wrapped up in the other stuff! (I’m so anxious! Do they like me!) Thanks for the helpful reminders. ❤️❤️

What an interesting topic! Yes, and if you want other people to like you, you also need to like yourself, nerves and awkwardness and all. Also, a reframe for nervousness -- instead of labeling that nervous feeling as "nervous", try labeling it as "excitement". Like "I'm excited to meet new people" versus "I'm nervous to meet new people." The body experiences nervousness and excitement similarly, so how you label it makes a huge difference in how your mind interprets those feelings and in turn how you show up in those settings.
