ASL : Anxiously Attempting to Learn SIGN Language ~Care to give me a hand?

 Have you ever considered learning sign language?

I've been trying to learn for the longest time, but haven't gotten very far. Go figure. 

I wrongly assumed that, because I gesticulate so much, I would have an easier time. Turns out, the opposite is true. 

Worse than that, any sign which requires touching or being in front of my face seems to cause me anxiety out of nowhere. Not something I'm proud of. I don't really understand it. 

It's strange to me. I wanted this so badly, but now I feel like I'm battling my anxious nature the entire time. 

Does anyone have insight or tips regarding this strange phenomenon? 

Thanks for reading.
