la petite moi

First thing is you just got to force yourself to do these things. Muster up all your courage, and take things in little steps. If your brothers/sisters offer help, you should take it- they, and your parents, are probably the only people that really care about your well being. Don't let your handicap be an obstacle you can't defeat either- there is a guy that works at my school's deli and he only has two fingers on his hand but he doesn't let that keep him from smacking that cheese on the bread. Getting out and talking to people will make you feel better. Why, just today I was feeling really grouchy after work so I went out to eat and then went to Starbucks (where I talked to a random gentleman and offered to help him take his coffees out). It made me feel waaaaay better.

You can do it, buddy!
