It can be very scary to open ourselves up in social situations, and it can be exhausting to worry over everything people might be thinking. I've learned that the vast majority of the time, people are thinking about themselves. All those things I worried about in social situations were minor blips on other people's radar.

Bottom line, you deserve to be happy. If you meet someone who makes you happy, who cares what people think?
