Hello friends! New member here, really stoked I found this place!
Anyway, I've been writing this here song and I was hoping to get some general feedback and opinions on it. I posted it here instead of the Mixing Clinic because I don't think the problem lies in the mix (although the mix probably does need some more work).
I was ecstatic about this song when I first started writing it but now in its final stages it just isn't giving me the "fuck yea!" feeling I get when I know I've written a good song. Maybe I'm just a bit too close to it? Either way, I'd really love to hear some opinions from people that aren't friends/family on this one. Thanks for taking the time to help me out!
The song itself is about social anxiety (my social anxiety I guess?).

And here's the lyrics for you fellas and lady-fellas:
I've been making plans, plans to make plans
plans to make friends, and plans to make sense
of these ideas that I seem to get stuck on
I come undone in conversation
getting hung up on all of the
subtleties I overthink, oh my god, what's wrong with me?
"Don't act so strange, just make eye contact
Don't sweat, just laugh, react, talk back"
I'm losing touch, losing touch, losing touch
Telling myself
To loosen up, loosen up, loosen up
Telling myself, to hold on
I can put on the best intentions
and I can pretend just enough
for me to seem a bit less unbearable
I've been making plans I don't understand
plans with loose ends that don't make sense
and I can't keep repeating these routines I get stuck on
"Don't act so scared, don't stare, relax
Don't breathe so fast, just smile, it's not that bad"
I'm losing touch, losing touch, losing touch
Telling myself
To loosen up, loosen up, loosen up
Telling myself, to hold on
"Don't act so strange, you'll be okay"
I don't even know why I get so stressed out
"You'll be alright, you'll be just fine"
I know, I know
"Ooh Loosen up" I said "Ooh loosen up, cause you've been losing touch"
"Ooh loosen up" I said "ooh loosen up, ooh, ooh, ooh"
I'm losing touch, losing touch, losing touch
Telling myself
To loosen up, loosen up, loosen up
Telling myself, to hold on
