Social Anxiety Support

Im not realy sure if she does or not but she always has this kind of frightened and pained expression on her face. Its kind of a long face too and her face seems tense. Its very hard to describe it but it reminds me of how I look/think I look in social situations. It just gave me a real SA vibe the first time I saw it. The thing that makes it positive is that no one seems to really care and she is fairly popular which gives me hope because I'm always really self concious about it. Maybe people don't notice as much as we think they do?

This is true! I hope you are less self-conscious.
Or will at least remind yourself to try and be less so about it.

I'm the same as that girl; it didn't affect my popularity!
Although my teachers commented on the fact that I seemed
to not give an interest to this popularity. Ha ha, even at nursery!

I hope you continue to feel good about that experience, x.
