I thought I defeated it [I Am Shy]

I went to therapy a few years ago, I thought the techniques I learnt and my determination helped me overcome it.

But whilst I don’t feel the nausea and physical reaction to being nervous, i’ve realised I still worry a lot about what others see and think of me, it is just more difficult for myself to tell when I’m feeling it.

That is something I hope will change from today, I think it’s long time I found people who accepted all of me, rather than the pieces that aren’t fragile.

There will be people who will happily smash those pieces, I know, but I hope they will only get stronger because of it.. I’m ready for them to be tested.

I thought I defeated it too. Life is weird. Stiff keeps coming back and we keep relapsing. One can only wish for a better day tomorrow.

@assemblingaknob It is for the best, I was so big-headed and thought i’d never fall for it again, I didn’t realise until now that it was a war not a battle, and it is something we all have to keep fighting through.

I hope it isn’t giving you too much grief this week 🤗
