It begins with Monday. A dreaded day for most but not so much for me. I take comfort in knowing that I have an entire five days where it will be socially acceptable to hibernate.

It’s no secret that life with social anxiety is difficult, but what makes it even more difficult is when people perceive us as “just shy.”

I know I would be a different person if it had not been for all of you: I would not have this close bond with God and I cannot imagine being without it. 

Be willing to engage despite fear of rejection.

I hate that you rule my life.

Be a guest in your own home.

Go inward. It sounds counterintuitive, but sometimes you need to dig into your psyche in order to be okay getting out of your own head.
