🦉 An owl at LaBitconf 🦉
I found out at the last minute that this event would take place, that's how distracted I am, that's why I only attended on Friday because at that time I had violin lessons on Saturdays and I didn't want to miss it. I remember that I was excited to experience for the first time an event of such magnitude and in fact I was impressed with how impressive and beautiful everything looked, people who knew a lot about the subject and from whom I could learn a lot, I met many wonderful hivers and everyone was very kind and made you feel comfortable, but my social anxiety had to play a trick on me.
It was predicted to rain that day, even though it was a beautiful sunrise, a couple of hours later it started to rain very hard and when we wanted to go back we got a little wet, the funny thing is that on Saturday the day was radiant and my violin class had been canceled, I could have gone that day, but that's another story. I liked how everything was decorated, I took some pictures of the place and of myself, you know I don't like to take pictures, but that day I felt great with myself so I did it, even the typical picture posing in front of the mirror with my cell phone, I never imagined I would take a picture like that.
It was almost time to stand at the booth and start talking to people about Hive and Web3, everything was fine until that moment, I was looking if there was someone interested and I invited them to come closer so we could give them all the information they requested, but at one point I don't know what happened, I swear I was fine and suddenly my physical and then emotional discomfort started. I tried to hide it obviously, only @naomimimi realized that I was not feeling well, but I told her I was fine and to go on. I think being surrounded by so many people and especially having to talk to them I still can't do it without feeling bad and I over demanded myself, that according to what I was told is social anxiety.
I don't think it's something that many people manage to understand, they confuse it with shyness and it's not just shyness, it's something worse because it hurts physically too, it was a shame that my nerves and anxiety got the better of me, but if no one noticed, I guess it didn't beat me completely, right? Then I isolated myself for a whole week, the discomfort took a while to go away and I didn't talk to anyone until it passed, that's why I wasn't able to share these pictures back then, I wasn't going to be able to do it right.
Apart from that, I would have loved to enjoy it without the rain and without that discomfort because it was really great, I really admire those people who stand in front of the public and speak with total confidence even though they must feel nervous, but they still do it and I admire them. I even found a relative of Bizcochito, this one was nicer and not as crazy as Bizcochito, Buhito didn't meet him because he locked himself in my backpack, better because with Buhito you never know. I don't regret having tried it, apart from everything I mentioned, it was a very nice experience that when I overcome my anxiety I would like to experience again and meet more hivers.
Thank you very much for your visit!
