Social Anxiety is not just the typical quiet and shy individual who feels ‘out of place’. You could be the ‘life of the party’ and experience spurts of high anxiety. You could be in a conversation but half of you is ready to cry. You could be smiling but inside you feel exhausted because you are beyond overstimulated.

I have always struggled with being around people I do not know. I am scared to be misunderstood, not liked, and frankly - I am scared of humans. Maybe that is from trauma or maybe it is because I just do not trust people openly. It takes time. Which is fine.

I thought being a homebody and preferring my alone time.. more.. was a negative thing. But I ENJOY IT. I love being home. I love recharging my batteries in peace. I love cleaning my home. I love watching a good movie. I love being curled up with a story - getting lost in someone else’s life when mine feels like a lot.

Do I still love to be around people? Yes. But in my own way. So I hope if you are listening you know it is okay to be a little scared. It is not the end of the world. It is just how you navigate it all. It is okay to be different.
