Thank you for sharing this post. I dealt with social anxiety as a child and it had a deep effect on my childhood. It actually took me into my early 30s to get a handle on anxiety and begin really living my life. I wish those around me had had the advice in this article when I was coming up, but back then psychology wasn't as mainstream in its application as it is today. Great of you to be spreading the word on this important topic. I will follow you and will resteem this later.
