Sorry if my question sounds silly.
Is it okay if I smile to myself out of shyness out of a sudden in front of public, friends, or partner (if I ever have one) during certain times?
I feel it's impossible to try and eliminate this behaviour from myself completely. I was focusing on trying to do this for years and I feel it has worsened my self-esteem and self-worth because I was not successful in doing so.
I think it will be better if I embrace and accept this behaviour so that I won't feel so worthless about myself. Like maybe tell myself that it's okay to smile randomly out of shyness.
But I have past experience of losing friends due to this smiling and it hurts me. It makes me feel like this is unacceptable behaviour.
