Social anxiety isnβt shyness.
Itβs wanting connection while bracing for judgment.
Itβs rehearsed laughter, overread silences, replayed conversations at night.
Not fear of people⦠fear of misstepping while being seen.
People with social anxiety often notice everything.
Tone shifts. Pauses. Energy changes.
Sensitivity becomes both skill and burden.
Maybe the problem isnβt anxious people.
Maybe itβs a world that treats confidence like a requirement.
Imagine if βI need a minuteβ
was as normal as βNice to meet you.β
That would redefine strength.
