Hi,

I wanted to post something encouraging for you before but the words wouldn't come to me and I didn't want to post something that would hurt your feeling or invalidate them. I feel very much like you do now at times. I found when I was younger that I felt really shy most of the time, but over time I've pushed myself out of my shell. Don't get me wrong sometimes I live right in my shell, find it hard to engage in conversation or make eye contact but it has been getting easier over time. Please keep posting, it really helps!
