I'm not so good with people any more (in person only, I hope!).

I used to be, but then depression and self-doubt got a hold of me and my self-esteem plummeted. So I understand.

I would like you to take that leap though. Just ask. Blurt it out if you must.

Don't turn into me. (Disclosure....it's probably a little selfish of me because if you do this, then it will give me a lift, too....)

Good luck. You got this!
