We Don’t Read And Write Poetry Because It’s Cute. We Read And Write Poetry Because We Are Members

For everyone with social anxiety, this is a reminder that you don't have to be perfect in your interactions with others; you just have to be kind and that's literally it. That's all that's necessary of you. You don't need to say the perfect thing or anticipate what they would want you to say or even exude confidence if you can't.

Social anxiety tells us that we have to be perfect in in our social interactions, but no one is. Social anxiety sets us up for a level of expectation in our social interactions that we have no choice but to fail at, and then fall into a cycle of self-hate for failing and striving even harder for perfection.

In a world both frightening and unlucky, there are a few comforts. One of them is making new friends.

When you meet people like that, you may find your world feels a little more complete. Like the missing piece of a puzzle, or two halves of a broken spyglass. Click.
