Do you ever have anyone say to you..."Oh everyone gets shy and has anxiety to some degree?" While that might be true.. that sentence also lessens the impact of how bad it is for people with real problems...that do exist. I realize that you can only begin to understand when you go through something that does impact your life and not just something you take a deep breath and get over. It bugs the crap out of me honestly when people try to act like they know everything about anxiety or depression when they don't know what it's like for people who are trapped in their homes with it. Something such as this cannot be tossed aside and say "Oh they are just shy." Really? It is a real problem, and it is to be taken seriously. Especially when the person is actually able to express their feelings. It only makes it worse when it's blown off. Speaking for myself and several of us out there who have real problems! hugz. I guess my whole point here was a half rant/half awareness purposes.
