Anybody here has anxiety reaching out or pinging people? I’d have a full blown anxiety even pinging people who have told me to not be afraid to reach out to them.

I don’t, but do realize that there is nearly no such thing as over commutating. Just don’t be a jerk about it!

Don’t send them a book, just ask if they have a minute to talk

Yes...I cope by getting straight to the point; I say Hi then ask my question before I even get a response. Also, I visualize pinging as texting so I lower my heart rate

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school
