Shy life
I’ve been shy my whole life. You may or may not believe that, but it’s true. I’ve been spending my adulthood peeling myself off the wall and trying to excise the shyness from my life. I don’t know if I’ll ever fully release that shy nature and in some ways I’m just learning to embrace it.
Sometimes I do wonder if it is indeed just being shy, or is it something more like social anxiety. I remember telling my therapist that I think I might have social anxiety and her reaction was just like “uh, yea, for sure you do.” It was one of those moments where the metaphorical lightbulb goes from 0 to 100 watts in one millisecond.
Whether it’s one or the other, or most likely both, doesn’t really matter. I’m embracing it either way and claiming the shy life for my own. We shall no longer be embarrassed by being shy. We shall no longer ignore the introvert. I will not live on the wall anymore.
Anyway, here is my recipe for Nestle Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies:
Buy a bag of chocolate chips
Follow the instructions on the back of the bag
Enjoy the fruit of your labor
Love,
Shyronnie
