One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
I began experiencing Social Anxiety at an early age; to be honest, as far back as I can remember. It started in elementary school as what I thought was just "stage fright." I was terrified to be called on in class. I was terrified to "popcorn read" paragraphs alongside my peers. I was never the social butterfly type. My Social Anxiety progressed as the middle school years crept in. Dating, puberty, parties... the horror. I completely avoided dating—it wasn't in my interests. I joined the school choir to put myself out there. I remember the first day. The teacher lined us all up by height and directed up on to the risers. She made me sing in front of everyone by myself to fit me into the appropriate section. I was shaking in my brown desk afterwards, completely red in the face. I can't believe I just did that. The tiny girl with brown hair and brown eyes tapped my shoulder and said, "You did great, don't be so nervous!"
