People often mistake my social anxiety for being stuck-up, or they think I just need to practice talking to people. They don't understand that when I become overwhelmed, I shake, I cry, and I want to run away. I can tell myself to stop crying all I want, but my body does what it wants. My body controls me, not the other way around.
