How can I overcome my networking anxiety in activism?

It's common to feel anxious about networking, especially in activism. Have you tried setting small, achievable goals?

What kind of small goals should I set?

You could start by attending a local event and introducing yourself to just one person. It’s a great way to ease into it.

That sounds manageable. What if I freeze up during the conversation?

If you feel stuck, try preparing a few conversation starters in advance. Remember, it's okay to take a moment to gather your thoughts.

Thanks! Any tips for following up after meeting someone?

Absolutely! A simple message expressing that you enjoyed meeting them and suggesting a future conversation can go a long way.
