Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. (Philippians 4:6)
Anyone who has only known me for the past couple of years would likely laugh in my face if I told them I dealt with social anxiety.
“Emily, you are NOT shy! You love to talk! You’ll talk to anyone. You can get along with everyone!”
Yes. All of these things are true. I’m a social butterfly. Extremely extroverted… meaning I thrive off of and derive energy from being around people. I’ll talk your ear off if you let me! I love meeting others for the first time, and I befriend people very easily.
But.. that doesn’t mean I don’t struggle with social anxiety.
Let me show you what social anxiety ACTUALLY looks like.
