People tell me that I never, ever appear to be afraid, when in social situations. I just kind of throw myself into them, they tell me. What they don’t realize is that behind the bubbly personality is a frightened little girl who just wants to get the heck out of there! I really, really want to get over that feeling. I still have trouble relaxing when talking to people I’ve just met. I sincerely hope to extinguish that fear one day. Otherwise, how the hell else am I going to function in this world?
