social akwardness coming back

[three6mami]

About a month ago i broke up with my ex. We had been living together for a year. He was abusive and controlling. He kept me isolated from the world. Now that I'm back able to do things i want, it feels like I'm on an alien planet. I can not talk to people without freezing up, feeling nervous, and shy. I used to not be like this before I got with him,,, any good advice to gain self confidence back?

Just keep practicing. Eventually, your speech will flow a lot smoother, and you'll feel more and more relaxed. Also, don't punish yourself every time it 'doesn't go so well'. Take it as a necessary step into getting better at it.
