Vertical Thoughts

Navigating everyday social interactions is not always easy, and may be even more difficult for some than it is for others. Being at the rock climbing gym or crag is no different. Some days you may not feel 100%, and you may not necessarily feel like being interactive with those around you. Sometimes all you need is a pair of headphones, the rock in front of you, and intense focus. Today we are joined by Liz Roush (@lizabizniz) and Nick Henson (@immaninjasoyeah) to tell you that there is nothing wrong with that. It's okay to have bad days. It's okay to feel anti-social. It's okay to be quiet and keep to yourself, so long as you are being self aware, and not affecting others negatively. It's important to learn when to give people the space that they need to mentally recoup. Do you feel social anxiety commonly? Do you feel it more or less when at the gym or crag? Let us know!
