Reclaiming my right to say, "I just have a trace of social anxiety."

I know I said I would stop claiming I only have a "trace" of social anxiety, but the thing is... well I think with recent improvements I have made in social situations all that remains is... well... a trace. Now, a trace does still include awkward moments, but I am no way near as nervous, anxious, apprehensive, or subject to freezing up like I used to be. So, I think that should count as progress.

At the gym tonight, I noticed a guy about my age who seemed severely nervous anytime anyone looked like they were going to approach him. He circled each machine he was about to use several times, lacking in any kind of confidence that he could use it. That could have been me years ago. But that is not me now. So, yeah there is that and I would like to reclaim my right to say, "I just have a trace of social anxiety."
