i used to get social anxiety. i used to think it was because i was shy. that was a total lie. i now know it wasnt social because i was shy...it was because i didnt have any confidence in myself.

now all i think is who cares what this person thinks of me. im fine with myself and if they dont like me it really doesnt matter. i always thought i would have nothing interesting to say or of value to add to the conversation. now i say what ever is on my mind. this new attitude for myself has surrounded me with many more people then my anti social behaviour ever did. there is no pressure which leads to a conversation that takes no effort what so ever. over time it gets very easy because your just being yourself without the stress.

maybe something to think about for you shy people?
