This is a short story about how to finally break free from social anxiety disorder. I have had to deal with this debilitating disorder for most of high school, but since then it has gotten a lot better because of certain techniques I have used for myself. These are things you can do on your own and without needing medication or a therapist. I really do think these methods work, they have worked for me immensely so I think they will work for you. You just have to dedicate yourself and never give up hope, because that is the worst thing you can do. Now, lets kick social anxiety's ass.

This book is just a bunch of stories about my life with Social Anxiety. I hope it helps others relate and we can go through this together. Walking down the hallway, heart pounding, people staring. Suddenly everything freezes A breath, A shaky, broken breath It comes out of my lips and out into the frozen world Finally I see her, the one person I'm strong with The one person that I can let my guard down with. All the way on the other side of the hall. Times unfreezes and all eyes are on me. Staring Judging Whispering Laughing They tell me that nobody is looking But they don't understand They are what a freak! They all think when they see me I am a freak. Freak No I'm less then a freak. I'm useless. I hold back my million tears as I break into a run rushing past the staring eyes the whispering mouths I reach out and I grab the sweater of my best friend. She turns to look at me with a smile and in that moment I'm beautiful I'm smart I'm strong I'm worth it vix
