This guy looks like he went through the wrong door, and ended up on stage when he was really just looking for the pool. Do you ever find yourself feeing out of place? I know I have, and at times it led to moments of anxiety where I would just walk out without finishing a conversation.
My Anxious Self:
I have to laugh at myself here a little bit because I’m known as somewhat of an entertainer, I’ve been on stage in a promotion role, entertained groups of people with magic, and have had thousands of people hear my voice live over the radio on a consistent basis. So I find it funny that today 5 years later, when in large crowds, I get all discombobulated and feel completely out of my element. I’m sure that if I was so inclined, it would be easy to find some pill to help put me in an apathetic state to ease my discomfort. But I don’t. Why? Because it seems to me that this experience of social anxiety is there for a reason, and to avoid the message means I may never gain insight into a deeper truth about myself.
