People who say "you should get out of your comfort zone sometimes" have the privilege of *having* a comfort zone. I'm so far out of my comfort zone that I forgot what it feels like to be at ease with myself!
And I need to make extra effort to create the conditions to feel welcomed and accepted!

Does anyone know if there's a type of earplugs that can reduce the noise without amplifying your own voice? I don't really care about sound quality for this, I just want to be able to have a conversation in a bar without freaking out at the end of the night. (I don't have many alternative places to socialise in my area that aren't super loud unfortunately.)
Any suggestions?
