I used to have bad social anxiety and care a lot about what people thought of me. Then one day I just decided it was too much effort and I didn't want to be that way any more. I currently have blue hair, piercings, tattoos and am a mother. People stare at me when I drop my kids at school and though I notice I do not care.

I just want you to know that it is possible to change. Not easy, but possible.
